NeuroSymActive: Differentiable Neural-Symbolic Reasoning with Active Exploration for Knowledge Graph Question Answering
New neural-symbolic method combines soft-unification with Monte Carlo exploration for precise multi-hop reasoning.
Researchers from multiple institutions introduced NeuroSymActive, a modular framework for Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA). It combines a differentiable neural-symbolic reasoning layer with an active, value-guided exploration controller. The system uses soft-unification symbolic modules and a Monte Carlo policy to prioritize path expansions. On standard benchmarks, it achieves strong accuracy while reducing expensive graph lookups and model calls compared to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) baselines.
