New neurosymbolic inference pipelines boost weighted model counting accuracy

Researchers have developed new pipelines for neurosymbolic inference that improve the accuracy of weighted model counting (WMC) by strategically allocating approximation budgets. These pipelines, inspired by tensor networks and utilizing tensor train decompositions and singular value decomposition (SVD), offer significantly more accurate WMC estimates than previous methods across various reasoning tasks. This enhanced accuracy is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring tight interactions between symbolic factors, leading to stronger downstream learning. AI

IMPACT These pipelines could enable more robust reasoning in AI systems by improving the accuracy of combining neural and symbolic approaches.

    Where to Approximate in Neurosymbolic Inference?

    arXiv:2611.13862v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilistic neurosymbolic methods rely on weighted model counting (WMC) to combine neural predictors with symbolic constraints. Exact WMC is #P-hard and typically scales poorly, so many methods resort to approximations. By unifyin…
