| 2025 | Neurosymbolic Reinforcement Learning: Playing MiniHack with Probabilistic Logic ShieldsabstractProbabilistic logic shields integrate deep reinforcement learning (RL) with probabilistic logic reasoning to train agents that operate in uncertain environments while giving strong guarantees with respect to logical constraints, such as safety properties. In this demo paper, we introduce a codebase that streamlines the design of custom MiniHack environments where neurosymbolic RL agents leverage probabilistic logic shields to learn safe and interpretable policies with strong guarantees. Our framework allows expert users to easily define and train agents that integrate deep neural policies with probabilistic logic in arbitrarily complex games: from simple exploration to planning and interacting with enemies. Additionally, we provide a web-based platform that showcases our application, offering an interactive interface for the broader community to experiment with and explore the capabilities of neurosymbolic reinforcement learning. This lowers the barrier for researchers and developers, making it accessible for a wider audience to engage with safety-critical RL scenarios.

| 2024 | Interpretable Concept-Based Memory ReasoningabstractThe lack of transparency in the decision-making processes of deep learning systems presents a significant challenge in modern artificial intelligence (AI), as it impairs users’ ability to rely on and verify these systems. To address this challenge, Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have made significant progress by incorporating human-interpretable concepts into deep learning architectures. This approach allows predictions to be traced back to specific concept patterns that users can understand and potentially intervene on. However, existing CBMs’ task predictors are not fully interpretable, preventing a thorough analysis and any form of formal verification of their decision-making process prior to deployment, thereby raising significant reliability concerns. To bridge this gap, we introduce Concept-based Memory Reasoner (CMR), a novel CBM designed to provide a human-understandable and provably-verifiable task prediction process. Our approach is to model each task prediction as a neural selection mechanism over a memory of learnable logic rules, followed by a symbolic evaluation of the selected rule. The presence of an explicit memory and the symbolic evaluation allow domain experts to inspect and formally verify the validity of certain global properties of interest for the task prediction process. Experimental results demonstrate that CMR achieves better accuracy-interpretability trade-offs to state-of-the-art CBMs, discovers logic rules consistent with ground truths, allows for rule interventions, and allows pre-deployment verification.
