| 2026 | Logic of Hypotheses: from Zero to Full Knowledge in Neurosymbolic IntegrationabstractNeurosymbolic integration (NeSy) blends neural‐network learning with symbolic reasoning. The field can be split between methods injecting hand-crafted rules into neural models, and methods inducing symbolic rules from data. We introduce Logic of Hypotheses (LoH), a novel language that unifies these strands, enabling the flexible integration of data-driven rule learning with symbolic priors and expert knowledge. LoH extends propositional logic syntax with a choice operator, which has learnable parameters and selects a subformula from a pool of options. Using fuzzy logic, formulas in LoH can be directly compiled into a differentiable computational graph, so the optimal choices can be learned via backpropagation. This framework subsumes some existing NeSy models, while adding the possibility of arbitrary degrees of knowledge specification. Moreover, the use of Gödel fuzzy logic and the recently developed Gödel trick yields models that can be discretized to hard Boolean-valued functions without any loss in performance. We provide experimental analysis on such models, showing strong results on tabular data and on two NeSy tasks with a perceptual component. Davide Bizzaro, Alessandro Daniele |

| 2025 | Lifted inference beyond first-order logicabstractWeighted First Order Model Counting (WFOMC) is fundamental to probabilistic inference in statistical relational learning models. As WFOMC is known to be intractable in general (#P-complete), logical fragments that admit polynomial time WFOMC are of significant interest. Such fragments are called domain liftable . Recent works have shown that the two-variable fragment of first order logic extended with counting quantifiers (C 2 ) is domain-liftable. However, many properties of real-world data, like acyclicity in citation networks and connectivity in social networks, cannot be modeled in C 2 , or first order logic in general. In this work, we expand the domain liftability of C 2 with multiple such properties. We show that any C 2 sentence remains domain liftable when one of its relations is restricted to represent a directed acyclic graph, a connected graph, a tree (resp. a directed tree) or a forest (resp. a directed forest). All our results rely on a novel and general methodology of counting by splitting . Besides their application to probabilistic inference, our results provide a general framework for counting combinatorial structures. We expand a vast array of previous results in discrete mathematics literature on directed acyclic graphs, phylogenetic networks, etc. Sagar Malhotra, Davide Bizzaro, Luciano Serafini |
