Answer Set Programming Energised! End-to-End Neurosymbolic Reasoning and Learning with ASP and Energy Based Models2607.08136AuthorsMehul Bhatt,Jakob Suchan,Julius Monsen,Salim BalochAbstractWe present a general neurosymbolic reasoning and learning methodology based on a modular integration of answer set programming with an energy based model substrate. Key contributions are: (1) supporting joint optimisation in the continuous latent space through explicit ASP-based declarative semantics fully incorporating background knowledge, constraints, non-monotonic inference; and (2) advancing recent works at the interface of answer sets, probabilistic logic, and answer set modulo theories by providing a generalised model and practical platform for ASP-centric robust, end-to-end training for applications in dynamic domains (e.g., involving perception and interaction). We provide a practical implementation, and demonstrate basic use and application (with MNIST), and evaluate with the visual question-answering benchmark Clevr and the multi-object tracking benchmark MOT.ResourcesView on Hugging FaceRead PDFArXiv

ResearchLearning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist such signals, hides a failure mode: a model that ignores all context looks robust yet is useless when the context is worth trusting. We recast the problem as selective trust and introduce MIST, a human-annotated benchmark that renders each reasoning item under four matched conditions (clean, misleading, correct-context, and irrelevant-context), together with SC2W, a paired metric counting how often a misle

ResearchTracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload. This is especially pronounced in heart failure, which affects an estimated 6.7 million U.S. adults and requires integrating fragmented EHR data with disease-specific, guideline-based clinical reasoning. Existing rule-based and large language model (LLM)-based approaches offer only partial automation with limited maintainability and evidence traceability. We developed the Nimblemind Multi-Agent System (nMAS), an evidence-linked, rubr
