Abstract
We introduce ALBI (Agent for Learning By Induction), a neuro-symbolic ILP framework that replaces the ASP-based hypothesis generator in the Learning from Failures (LFF) paradigm with a Large Language Model (LLM), while retaining SWI-Prolog as a formal verifier. ALBI implements an iterative generate-test-constrain loop: the LLM proposes candidate hypotheses from structured prompts; Prolog tests each candidate; and diagnostic feedback drives refinement. We further introduce semantic anonymization, a metamorphic testing methodology, to distinguish structural symbolic induction from surface-level pattern matching on predicate names. Experiments on 30 standard ILP benchmarks show that ALBI achieves 100% success across three frontier LLMs (Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT 5.4 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6), matching Popper while requiring only 1.4-1.7 iterations on average. Under anonymization, all models maintain 100% success with a moderate iteration increase (1.36-1.67 times), providing evidence of robust symbolic reasoning.
This paper investigates developing real-world perception for active agents, proposes Gibson Environment for this purpose, and showcases a set of perceptual tasks learned therein.

GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...
