Curriculum Abductive Learning

2025-05-18 · Wen-Chao Hu, Qi-Jie Li, Lin-Han Jia, Cunjing Ge, Yu-Feng Li, Yuan Jiang, Zhi-Hua Zhou

Abductive Learning (ABL) integrates machine learning with logical reasoning in a loop: a learning model predicts symbolic concept labels from raw inputs, which are revised through abduction using domain knowledge and then fed back for retraining. However, due to the nondeterminism of abduction, the training process often suffers from instability, especially when the knowledge base is large and complex, resulting in a prohibitively large abduction space. While prior works focus on improving candidate selection within this space, they typically treat the knowledge base as a static black box. In this work, we propose Curriculum Abductive Learning (C-ABL), a method that explicitly leverages the internal structure of the knowledge base to address the ABL training challenges. C-ABL partitions the knowledge base into a sequence of sub-bases, progressively introduced during training. This reduces the abduction space throughout training and enables the model to incorporate logic in a stepwise, smooth way. Experiments across multiple tasks show that C-ABL outperforms previous ABL implementations, significantly improves training stability, convergence speed, and final accuracy, especially under complex knowledge setting.

GEAR: A General Evaluation Framework for Abductive Reasoning

2025-09-28 · Kaiyu He, Peilin Wu, Mian Zhang, Kun Wan 외 arxiv

Since the advent of large language models (LLMs), research has focused on instruction following and deductive reasoning. A central question remains: can these models discover new knowledge, and how can we evaluate this a…

Abductive forgetting is removing variables from a logical formula while maintaining its abductive explanations. It is defined in either of two ways, depending on its intended application. Both differ from the usual forge…
