The research introduces "Rapid," a neuro-symbolic framework that automates image labeling by inferring human-readable logic rules from minimal expert-annotated data. It achieves an average accuracy improvement of 11.75% to 12.03% over baselines in specialized domains like Glaucoma Diagnosis and Bird Species Labeling, reaching peak performance within 13 active learning iterations.

Key insights

  • Synergistically combining neural networks for perception with symbolic AI for reasoning enables efficient learning from small datasets and yields interpretable, editable labeling rules.
  • Direct expert rule editing is crucial for rapidly embedding domain knowledge and significantly accelerating learning and accuracy, especially in complex specialized domains.
  • A multi-criteria active learning strategy, balancing conflict-based informativeness with diversity, effectively minimizes human annotation effort while refining rules.
