• Authors: Kotaro Funakoshi
• Abstract summary: Non-Axiomatic Term Logic (NATL) is a theoretical computational framework of humanlike symbolic reasoning in artificial intelligence. NATL unites a discrete syntactic system inspired from Aristotle's term logic and a continuous semantic system based on the modern idea of distributed representations.

• Abstract: This paper presents Non-Axiomatic Term Logic (NATL) as a theoretical computational framework of humanlike symbolic reasoning in artificial intelligence. NATL unites a discrete syntactic system inspired from Aristotle's term logic and a continuous semantic system based on the modern idea of distributed representations, or embeddings. This paper positions the proposed approach in the phylogeny and the literature of logic, and explains the framework. As it is yet no more than a theory and it requires much further elaboration to implement it, no quantitative evaluation is presented. Instead, qualitative analyses of arguments using NATL, some applications to possible cognitive science/robotics-related research, and remaining issues towards a machinery implementation are discussed.

  Tokenization is a critical step in the NLP pipeline. Despite its recognized importance as a standard representation method in NLP, the theoretical underpinnings of tokenization are not yet fully understood. The present paper contributes to addressing this theoretical gap by proposing a unified formal framework for representing and analyzing tokenizer models.

  LOGICSEG is a holistic visual semantic that integrates neural inductive learning and logic reasoning with both rich data and symbolic knowledge. During fuzzy logic-based continuous relaxation, logical formulae are grounded onto data and neural computational graphs, hence enabling logic-induced network training. These designs together make LOGICSEG a general and compact neural-logic machine that is readily integrated into existing segmentation models.

Specifically, node-level and type-level relations, which can be interpreted as bridges in the reasoning process, are modeled by a hierarchical interaction mechanism.

  Similar to Knowledge Graphs (KGs), Knowledge Graphs are often incomplete, and maintaining and constructing them has proved challenging. Similar to KGs, a promising approach is to learn embeddings in a latent vector space, while additionally ensuring they adhere to the semantics of the underlying DL. We propose a novel ontology embedding method named Box$2$EL for the DL EL++, which represents both concepts and roles as boxes.
