advanced Published 11 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement a neurosymbolic framework to integrate formal logic solvers with LLMs
  2. Use probabilistic commonsense to supply missing assumptions in formal solvers
  3. Train LLMs to generate commonsense assumptions and integrate them with formal solvers
  4. Evaluate the performance of the integrated model on abductive reasoning tasks
  5. Fine-tune the model to improve its ability to make human-like reasoning steps

Title: Abductive Reasoning with Probabilistic Commonsense

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.08011v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent efforts to improve the reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) have focused on integrating formal logic solvers within neurosymbolic frameworks. A key challenge is that formal solvers lack commonsense world knowledge, preventing them from making reasoning steps that humans find obvious. Prior methods address this by using LLMs to supply missing commonsense assumptions, but these approaches implicitly assume universal agreement on
