• Authors: Hiroyuki Kido
• Abstract summary: We propose a temporal probabilistic model that generates symbolic knowledge from data. The correctness of the model is justified in terms of consistency with Kolmogorov's axioms, Fenstad's theorems and maximum likelihood estimation.

• Abstract: This paper gives a theory of inference to logically reason symbolic knowledge fully from data over time. We propose a temporal probabilistic model that generates symbolic knowledge from data. The statistical correctness of the model is justified in terms of consistency with Kolmogorov's axioms, Fenstad's theorems and maximum likelihood estimation. The logical correctness of the model is justified in terms of logical consequence relations on propositional logic and its extension. We show that the theory is applicable to localisation problems.

  We show that BERT can attain near-perfect accuracy on in-distribution test examples while failing to generalize to other data distributions over the exact same problem space. Our study provides an explanation for this paradox: instead of learning to emulate the correct reasoning function, BERT has in fact learned statistical features that inherently exist in logical reasoning problems.

We show that the generative model gives a new classification algorithm that outperforms several representative algorithms in predictive accuracy and complexity on the Kaggle Titanic dataset.
