Candidate Retention for Abductive Learning

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.39561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Abductive learning combines neural perception with symbolic reasoning, using explanations generated by abduction to supervise the perception model. Multiple valid explanations of the same symbolic target can assign conflicting labels to the same inputs. Common policies select a single candidate as a pseudo-label, which may reinforce mistaken assignments, or weight all candidates, which may spread supervision across competing labels. These risks mot
