Meta-Ctrl: Guaranteed Plan Generation by Decoupling Syntactic and Semantic Constraints

Gwen Yidou-Weng, Edward Sun, Tianyi Ma +5

LLMs generate fluent plans for robots but routinely violate the syntactic and se8mantic constraints they must satisfy to execute, and existing remedies trade formal guarantees agai…

Interpretable Causal Discovery via Causal-Effect Constraints

Cixuan Zhang, Guy Van den Broeck, Benjie Wang

Causal discovery aims to uncover the underlying causal relationships given data generated from a system. The goal, however, is not merely to predict causal edges given data, but al…

The RAIL Principles for Neurosymbolic AI: Reasoning, Assurances, Interfacing and Learning

Agnese Chiatti, Michael Cochez, Cristina Cornelio +14

Neurosymbolic AI systems that integrate machine learning and symbolic reasoning are rapidly gaining attention. They complement the data-intensive statistical approaches of neural n…

ExplainFuzz: Explainable and Constraint-Conditioned Test Generation with Probabilistic Circuits

Annaëlle Baiget, Jaron Maene, Seongmin Lee +3

Understanding and explaining the structure of generated test inputs is essential for effective software testing and debugging. Existing approaches--including grammar-based fuzzers,…

Breaking the Factorization Barrier in Diffusion Language Models

Ian Li, Zilei Shao, Benjie Wang +3

Diffusion language models theoretically allow for efficient parallel generation but are practically hindered by the ``factorization barrier'': the assumption that simultaneously pr…

How to Marginalize in Causal Structure Learning?

William Zhao, Guy Van den Broeck, Benjie Wang

Bayesian networks (BNs) are a widely used class of probabilistic graphical models employed in numerous application domains. However, inferring the network's graphical structure fro…

Learning Tractable Distributions Of Language Model Continuations

Gwen Yidou-Weng, Ian Li, Anji Liu +4

Controlled generation imposes sequence-level constraints (syntax, style, safety) that depend on future tokens, making exact conditioning of an autoregressive LM intractable. Tracta…

Scaling Probabilistic Circuits via Monarch Matrices

Honghua Zhang, Meihua Dang, Benjie Wang +3

Probabilistic Circuits (PCs) are tractable representations of probability distributions allowing for exact and efficient computation of likelihoods and marginals. Recent advancemen…

TRACE Back from the Future: A Probabilistic Reasoning Approach to Controllable Language Generation

Gwen Yidou Weng, Benjie Wang, Guy Van den Broeck

As large language models (LMs) advance, there is an increasing need to control their outputs to align with human values (e.g., detoxification) or desired attributes (e.g., personal…

A Compositional Atlas for Algebraic Circuits

Benjie Wang, Denis Deratani Mauá, Guy Van den Broeck +1

Circuits based on sum-product structure have become a ubiquitous representation to compactly encode knowledge, from Boolean functions to probability distributions. By imposing cons…

Probabilistic Circuits for Cumulative Distribution Functions

Oliver Broadrick, William Cao, Benjie Wang +2

A probabilistic circuit (PC) succinctly expresses a function that represents a multivariate probability distribution and, given sufficient structural properties of the circuit, sup…

Where is the signal in tokenization space?

Renato Lui Geh, Honghua Zhang, Kareem Ahmed +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically shipped with tokenizers that deterministically encode text into so-called canonical token sequences, to which the LLMs assign probability…
