We introduce Explanatory Learning (EL), a framework to let machines use existing knowledge buried in symbolic sequences -- e.g. explanations written in hieroglyphic -- by autonomously learning to interpret them. In EL, the burden of…

Answering complex first-order logic (FOL) queries on knowledge graphs is essential for reasoning. Symbolic methods offer interpretability but struggle with incomplete graphs, while neural approaches generalize better but lack transparency.…
