ProSLM: A Prolog Synergized Language Model for explainable Domain Specific Knowledge Based Question Answering

Neurosymbolic approaches can add robustness to opaque neural systems by incorporating explainable symbolic representations. However, previous approaches have not used formal logic to contextualize queries to and validate outputs of large language models (LLMs). We propose ProSLM, a novel neurosymbolic framework, to improve the robustness and reliability of LLMs in question-answering tasks. We provide ProSLM with a domain-specific knowledge base, a logical reasoning system, and an integration to an existing LLM. This framework has two capabilities (1) context gathering: generating explainable and relevant context for a given query, and (2) validation: confirming and validating the factual accuracy of a statement in accordance with a knowledge base (KB). Our work opens a new area of neurosymbolic generative AI text validation and user personalization.
