CRISP: A Framework for Clause-Reconstructed Interpretable NeuroSymbolic Propositions

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.02431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep neural networks achieve high accuracy through layered numerical transformations, yet their decisions remain difficult to audit because decision evidence is encoded in hidden activations rather than explicit rules. This paper introduces CRISP, a framework that reconstructs the last-layer activation vector (LLAV) of binary neural teachers as Tsetlin Machine (TM) clauses. CRISP sign-binarizes the teacher's penultimate pre-logit activations, and assigns one Individual TM (ITM) to each LLAV neuron. Each reconstructed hidden bit is represented by propositional clauses over Booleanized input features, which gives a direct symbolic trace from named input thresholds to a named teacher neuron. CRISP is evaluated on MNIST, KMNIST, FashionMNIST (FMN
