                "text": "Currently, many NLI benchmarks' state-of-the-art systems are exclusively deep learning (DL) based language models (Devlin et al., 2019; Lan et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020; Yin and Sch\u00fctze, 2017) . These models often contain a large number of parameters, use high-quality pre-trained embeddings, and are trained on large-scale datasets, which enable them to handle diverse and large test data robustly. However, several experiments show that DL models lack generalization ability, adopt fallible syntactic heuristics, and show exploitation of annotation artifacts (Glockner et al., 2018; McCoy et al., 2019; Gururangan et al., 2018) . On the other hand, there are logic-based systems that use symbolic reasoning and semantic formalism to solve NLI (Abzianidze, 2017; Mart\u00ednez-G\u00f3mez et al., 2017;  * The first two authors have equal contribution Figure 1 : Analogy between path planning and an entailment inference path from the premise A motorcyclist with a red helmet is riding a blue motorcycle down the road to the hypothesis A motorcyclist is riding a motorbike along a roadway. Yanaka et al., 2018; Hu et al., 2020) . These systems show high precision on complex inferences involving difficult linguistic phenomena and present logical and explainable reasoning processes. However, these systems lack background knowledge and do not handle sentences with syntactic variations well, which makes them poor competitors with state-ofthe-art DL models. Both DL and logic-based systems show a major issue with NLI models: they are too one-dimensional (either purely DL or purely logic), and no method has combined these two ap-proaches together for solving NLI. This paper makes several contributions, as follows: first, we propose a new framework in section 3 for combining logic-based inference with deeplearning-based network inference for better performance on conducting natural language inference. We model an NLI task as a path-searching problem between the premises and the hypothesis. We use beam-search to find an optimal path that can transform a premise to a hypothesis through a series of inference steps. This way, different inference modules can be inserted into the system. For example, DL inference modules will handle inferences with diverse syntactic changes and logic inference modules will handle inferences that require complex reasoning. Second, we introduce a new method in section 4.3 to handle syntactic variations in natural language through sequence chunking and DL based paraphrase detection. We evaluate our system in section 6 by conducting experiments on the SICK and MED datasets. Experiments show that joint logical and neural reasoning show state-of-art accuracy and recall on these datasets.",

(2016) to work with logic representations derived from CCG trees, Yanaka et al. (2018) proposed a framework that can detect phrase correspondences for a sentence pair, using natural deduction on semantic relations and can thus extract various paraphrases automatically. Their experiments show that assessing phrase correspondences helps improve NLI accuracy. Our system uses a similar methodology to solve syntactic variation inferences, where we determine if two phrases are paraphrases. Our method is rather different on this point, since we call on neural language models to detect paraphrases between two sentences. We feel that it would be interesting to compare the systems on a more theoretical level, but we have not done the comparison in this paper.",

We are doing something very different, using neural models to detect paraphrases at several levels of \"chunking\". In addition, the exact algorithms found in Sections 3 and 4 are new here. In a sense, our work on alignment in NLI goes back to MacCartney and Manning (2009) where alignment was used to find a chain of edits that changes a premise to a hypothesis, but our work uses much that simply was not available in 2009.",

Although the system integrates both symbolic and neural methods, its decision process is still separate, in which the symbolic and deep learning sides make decisions without relying on the other side.

                "text": "The key motivation behind our architecture and inference modules is that the Natural Language Inference task can be modeled as a path planning problem. Path planning is a task for finding an optimal path traveling from a start point to a goal containing a series of actions. To formulate NLI as path planning, we define the premise as the start state and the hypothesis as the goal that needs to be reached. The classical path planning strategy applies expansions from the start state through some search algorithms, such as depth-first-search or Dijkstra search, until an expansion meets the goal. In a grid map, two types of action produce an expansion. The vertical action moves up and down, and the horizontal action moves left and right. Similarly, language inference also contains these two actions. Monotonicity reasoning is a vertical action, where the monotone inference moves up and simplifies a sentence, and the antitone inference moves down and makes a sentence more specific. Syntactic variation and synonym replacement are horizontal actions. They change the form of a sentence while maintaining the original mean- ing. Then, similar to path planning, we can continuously make inferences from the premise using a search algorithm to determine if the premise entails the hypothesis by observing whether one of the inferences can reach the hypothesis. If the hypothesis is reached, we can connect the list of inferences that transform a premise to a hypothesis to be the optimal path in NLI, a valid reasoning chain for entailment. Figure 1 shows an analogy between an optimal path for the classical grid path planning problem and an example of an optimal inference path for NLI. On the top, we have a reasoning process for natural language inference. From the premise, we can first delete the modifier with a red helmet, then delete blue to get a simplified sentence. Finally, we can paraphrase down the road to along a roadway in the premise to reach the hypothesis and conclude the entailment relationship between these two sentences.",

A beam search algorithm searches for the optimal inference path from a premise to a hypothesis. The search space is generated from three inference modules: lexical, phrasal, and syntactic variation. Through graph alignment, the sentence inference controller selects a inference module to apply to the premise and produce a set of new premises that potentially form entailment relations with the hypothesis.

For instance, a transition in the scope of the quantifier (a \u2212\u2192 no) from the same subject could be what we call a contradiction signature (possible evidence for a contradiction). With all the signatures, the controller decides if they can form a contradiction as a whole. To avoid situations when multiple signatures together fail to form a complete contradiction, such as double negation, the controller checks through the contradiction signatures to ensure a contradiction. For instance, in the verb pair (not remove, add), the contradiction signature not would cancel the verb negation contradiction signature from remove to add so the pair as a whole would not be seen as a contradiction. Nevertheless, other changes from the premise to the hypothesis may change the meaning of the sentence. Hence, our controller would go through other transitions to make sure the meaning of the sentence does not change when the contradiction sign is valid. For example, in the neutral pair P: A person is eating and H: No tall person is eating, the addition of tall would be detected by our controller. But the aligned word of the component it is applied to, person in P, has been marked downward monotone. So this transition is invalid. This pair would then be classified as neutral. For P2 and H2 in Figure 4 , the controller notices the contradictory quantifier change around the subject man. The subject man in P2 is upward monotone so the deletion of tall is valid. Our controller also detects the meaning transition from signature type example quantifier negation no dogs =\u21d2 some dogs verb negation is eating =\u21d2 is not eating noun negation some people =\u21d2 nobody action contradiction is sleeping =\u21d2 is running direction contradiction The turtle is following the fish =\u21d2",

To generate the chunk for a content word in V c , we arrange its modifiers, which are nodes it points to, together with the content word by their word orders in the original sentence to form a word chain. Modifiers that make the chain disconnected are discarded because they are not close enough to be part of the chunk. For instance, the chunk from the verb eats in the sentence A person eats the food carefully would not contain its modifier carefully because they are separated by the object the food. If the sentence is stated as A person carefully eats the food, carefully now is next to eat and it would be included in the chunk of the verb eat. To obtain chunks for a sentence, we iterate through each main component node, which is a node for subject, verb, or object, in the sentence's graph representation and construct verb phrases by combining verbs' chunks with their paired objects' chunks. There are cases when a word modifies other words and gets modified in the same time. They often occur when a chunk serves as a modifier. For example, in The woman in a pink dress is dancing, the phrase in a pink dress modifies woman whereas dress is modified by in, a and pink. Then edges from dress to in, a, pink with the edge from woman to dress can be drawn. Chunks in a pink dress and the woman in a Noun Phrase Variation A man with climbing equipment is hanging A man with equipment used for climbing is from rock which is vertical and white hanging from a white, vertical rock. Here the left graph represents the premise: A tall man is running down the road. The right graph represents the hypothesis A man who is tall is running along a roadway. The blue region represents phrase chunks extracted by the chunker from the graph. An alignment score is calculated for each pair of chunks. The pair tall man, man who is tall is a pair of paraphrases, and thus has a high alignment score (0.98). The pair tall man, running along a road way has two unrelated phrases, and thus has a low alignment score(0.03).",

First, we remove the syntactic variation module that uses neural network for alignment (\u2212ALBERT-SV). As the table shows, the accuracy drops 18.9 percentage points. This large drop in accuracy indicates that the syntactic variation module plays a major part in our overall inference process. The result also proves our hypothesis that deep learning methods for inference can improve the performance of traditional logic-based systems significantly. Secondly, when we remove the monotonicity-based inference modules (\u2212Monotonicity), the accuracy shows another large decrease in accuracy, with a 15.6 percentage point drop. This result demonstrates the important contribution of the logic-based inference modules toward the overall state-of-the-art performance. Compared to the previous ablation test which removes the neural network based syntactic variation module, the accuracy does not change much (only 3.3 differences). This similar performance indicates that neural network inference in our system alone cannot achieve state-of-art performance on the SICK dataset, and additional guidance and constrains from the logic-based methods are essential parts of our framework. Overall, we believe that the results reveal that both modules, logic and neural, contribute equally to the final performance and are both important parts that are unmovable.",

Both models were tested in Yanaka et al. (2019a) . Overall, our system (Neural-Log) outperforms all DL-based baselines in terms of accuracy, by a significant amount. Compared to BERT+, our system performs better both on upward (+15.4) and downward (+23.6) inference, and shows significant higher accuracy overall (+21.8).",

For example, P: A black, red, white and pink dress is being worn by a woman, H: A dress, which is black, red, white and pink is being worn by a woman, has long conjunctions that cause the parser to produce two separate trees from the same sentence. Secondly, a lack of sufficient background knowledge causes the system to fail to make inferences which would be needed to obtain a correct label. For example, P: One man is doing a bicycle trick in midair, H: The cyclist is performing a trick in the air requires the system to know that a man doing a bicycle trick is a cyclist. This kind of knowledge can only be injected to the system either by handcrafting rules or by extracting it from the training data. For contradiction, our analysis reveals inconsistencies in the SICK dataset. We account for multiple sentence pairs that have the same syntactic and semantic structures, but are labeled differently. For example, P: A man is folding a tortilla, H: A man is unfolding a tortilla has gold-label Neutral while P: A man is playing a guitar, H: A man is not playing a guitar has gold-label Contradiction. These two pair of sentences clearly have similar structures but have inconsistent gold-labels. Both gold-labels would be reasonable depending on whether the two subjects refer to the same entity.",

                "text": "In this paper, we presented a framework to combine logic-based inference with deep-learning based inference for improved Natural Language Inference performance. The main method is using a search engine and an alignment based controller to dispatch the two inference methods (logic and deeplearning) to their area of expertise. This way, logicbased modules can solve inference that requires logical rules and deep-learning based modules can solve inferences that contain syntactic variations which are easier for neural networks. Our system uses a beam search algorithm and three inference modules (lexical, phrasal, and syntactic variation) to find an optimal path that can transform a premise to a hypothesis. Our system handles syntactic variations in natural sentences using the neural network on phrase chunks, and our system determines contradictions by searching for contradiction signatures (evidence for contradiction). Evaluations on SICK and MED show that our proposed framework for joint logical and neural reasoning can achieve state-of-art accuracy on these datasets. Our experiments on ablation tests show that neither logic nor neural reasoning alone fully solve Natural Language Inference, but a joint operation between them can bring improved performance. For future work, one plan is to extend our system with more logic inference methods such as those using dynamic semantics (Haruta et al., 2020) and more neural inference methods such as those for commonsense reasoning (Levine et al., 2020) . We also plan to implement a learning method that allows the system to learn from mistakes on a training dataset and automatically expand or correct its rules and knowledge bases, which is similar to Abzianidze (2020)'s work.",
