• Abstract: Applying logic in the area of conceptual modeling has been investigated widely, yet there has been limited uptake of logic-based conceptual modeling in industry. According to some researchers, another formalization of such tools as EER or UML class diagrams in logic may only marginally contribute to the body of knowledge. This paper reflects on applying propositional logic language to a high-level diagrammatic representation called the thinging machines (TM) model. We explore the relationship between conceptual modeling and logic, including such issues as: What logical constructs model? How does truth fit into the picture produced in conceptual modeling as a representation of some piece of the world it is about? The ultimate research objective is a quest for a thorough semantic alignment of TM modeling and propositional logic into a single structure. Examples that involve the application of propositional logic in certain areas of reality are TM remodeled, where propositions are viewed as TM regions or events. As it turned out, TM seems to shed light on the semantics of propositions. In such a conceptual framework, logical truth is a matter of how things are in actuality and how falsehood is in subsistence. The results show that propositional logic enriches the rigorousness of conceptual descriptions and that the TM semantic apparatus complements propositional logic by providing a background to the given set of propositions. Semantics matters are applied to propositional constructs such as negative propositions, disjunctions, and conjunctions with negative terms.

  We model the logical reasoning task by transforming each logical sample into reasoning paths. To expand the diversity of the logical samples, we propose an atom extension strategy supported by equivalent logical formulas. Experiments show that PathReasoner achieves competitive performances on two logical reasoning benchmarks and great generalization abilities.

  Recently developed large language models (LLMs) have been shown to perform remarkably well on a wide range of language understanding tasks. But, can they really "reason" over the natural language? This question has been receiving significant research attention and many reasoning skills such as commonsense, numerical, and qualitative have been studied.

  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.

We show that the modal logic is well adapted to define concrete and efficient operators for revision, merging, and abduction of new knowledge, or even spatial reasoning.

  We extend disjunctive logic programs under the stable model semantics with modal constructs called subjective literals. Using subjective literals, it is possible to check whether a regular literal is true in every or some stable models of the program. Several attempts for capturing the intuitions underlying the language by means of a formal semantics were given.
