Effectively combining logic reasoning and probabilistic inference has been a long-standing goal of machine learning: the former has the ability to generalize with small training data, while the latter provides a principled framework for dealing with noisy data. However, existing methods for combining the best of both w…
Combining deep neural networks with structured logic rules is desirable to harness flexibility and reduce uninterpretability of the neural models. We propose a general framework capable of enhancing various types of neural networks (e.g., CNNs and RNNs) with declarative first-order logic rules. Specifically, we develop…
In this article, the logic rule ensembles approach to supervised learning is applied to the unsupervised or semi-supervised clustering. Logic rules which were obtained by combining simple conjunctive rules are used to partition the input space and an ensemble of these rules is used to define a similarity matrix. Simila…

It is notoriously difficult to control the behavior of reinforcement learning agents. Agents often learn to exploit the environment or reward signal and need to be retrained multiple times. The multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) framework separates a reward function into several objectives. An ideal MORL age…
Statistical relational frameworks such as Markov logic networks and probabilistic soft logic (PSL) encode model structure with weighted first-order logical clauses. Learning these clauses from data is referred to as structure learning. Structure learning alleviates the manual cost of specifying models. However, this be…

Combining logic and probability has been a long stand- ing goal of AI research. Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) achieve this by attaching weights to formulas in first-order logic, and can be seen as templates for constructing features for ground Markov networks. Most techniques for learning weights of MLNs are domain-size…
Deep networks can be understood as logical circuits, improving interpretability and generalization.
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance and become the de-facto standard in many tasks. However, troubling phenomena such as adversarial and fooling examples suggest that the generalization they make is flawed. I argue that among the roots of the phenomena are two geometric properties of common deep l…
