Verification and Refinement of Natural Language Explanations through LLM-Symbolic Theorem Proving

I mentioned a while back that I was helping to supervise a PhD student who was using various symbolic AI tools to validate the output from LLMs. At the time he was using a version of Prolog, but has since switched to using a theorem proving tool called Isabell.

He recently won best paper award at Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) for his paper about this which can be found at https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.172

Larry actually has a Wikipedia page. He's now 68 so is in the retirement bracket. Yes, he may well stay emeritus and keep doing research and some supervision.
