This research introduces NeuSOGA, a neuro-symbolic framework that converts raw geometric observations into explicit, editable mathematical representations rather than opaque latent encodings. By integrating topology-guided discovery with foundation model perception, the system produces analytically defined models that support reasoning and interpretation across different sensing modalities. This approach directly addresses the interpretability gap in modern AI by bridging statistical learning with symbolic logic for geometric tasks.
Neuro-Symbolic Geometric Abstraction (NeuSOGA): From Observations to Symbolic Mathematical Representations
arXiv:2609.01408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fundamental challenge in artificial intelligence is the transformation of observations into explicit symbolic representations suitable for abstraction, interpretation, and reasoning. While modern AI systems achieve remarkable perceptual capabilities through large-scale statistical learning, the resulting knowledge is typically encoded within latent parameters that are difficult to inspect or manipulate analytically. Inspired by Neuro-Symbolic AI and theories of human abstraction, this paper investigates the formation of symbolic mathematical representations from geometric observations. We propose NeuSOGA (Neuro-Symbolic Geometric Abstraction), a framework that progressively transforms observations into topological abstractions, geometric abstractions, and ultimately symbolic mathematical representations. The architecture combines topology-guided structural discovery using Euclidean Distance Transforms, foundation-model perception using Segment Anything, adaptive multi-scale geometric abstraction, and symbolic synthesis through Implicit Area Splines. The resulting representation is an analytical implicit model supporting arbitrary-order smoothness, additive composition, and closed-form evaluation. Unlike neural latent encodings, the generated representation remains interpretable, editable, and mathematically explicit. Experiments on ModelNet40 point clouds, arbitrary-view projections, and segmented optical observations demonstrate that NeuSOGA transforms diverse observations into compact symbolic representations while preserving essential geometric and topological structure across sensing modalities and viewing directions. NeuSOGA provides an interpretable and explainable pathway from observation to symbol and establishes
