tensorlogic-compiler

Engine-agnostic compilation of TensorLogic expressions to tensor computation graphs

Overview

The compiler translates logical rules with quantifiers into optimized tensor operations using Einstein summation notation. It operates as a planning layer only—no execution happens here.

Input: TLExpr (logical expressions with predicates, quantifiers, implications) Output: EinsumGraph (directed graph of tensor operations)

Quick Start

use tensorlogic_compiler::compile_to_einsum;
use tensorlogic_ir::{TLExpr, Term};

// Define a logic rule: ∃y. knows(x, y)
// "Find all persons x who know someone"
let rule = TLExpr::exists(
    "y",
    "Person",
    TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]),
);

// Compile to tensor operations
let graph = compile_to_einsum(&rule)?;

// Graph contains:
// - Tensors: ["knows[ab]", "temp_0"]
// - Operations: [Reduce{op: "sum", axes: [1]}]
// - Outputs: [1]

Logic-to-Tensor Mapping

Default Strategy (Soft Differentiable)

Logic Operation	Tensor Equivalent	Notes
`P(x, y)`	Tensor with axes `ab`	Predicate as multi-dimensional array
`P ∧ Q`	Hadamard product or einsum	Element-wise if same axes, contraction if shared vars
`P ∨ Q`	`max(P, Q)`	Or soft variant (configurable)
`¬P`	`1 - P`	Or temperature-controlled
`∃x. P(x)`	`sum(P, axis=x)`	Or `max` for hard quantification
`∀x. P(x)`	`NOT(∃x. NOT(P(x)))`	Dual of EXISTS
`P → Q`	`ReLU(Q - P)`	Soft implication

Modal & Temporal Logic Operations

Logic Operation	Tensor Equivalent	Notes
`□P` (Box)	`min(P, axis=world)` or `prod(P, axis=world)`	Necessity over possible worlds
`◇P` (Diamond)	`max(P, axis=world)` or `sum(P, axis=world)`	Possibility over possible worlds
`F(P)` (Eventually)	`max(P, axis=time)` or `sum(P, axis=time)`	True in some future state
`G(P)` (Always)	`min(P, axis=time)` or `prod(P, axis=time)`	True in all future states

Modal Logic Example:

use tensorlogic_ir::{TLExpr, Term};

// □(∃y. knows(x, y)) - "In all possible worlds, x knows someone"
let expr = TLExpr::Box(Box::new(
    TLExpr::exists("y", "Person",
        TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")])
    )
));

Temporal Logic Example:

// F(completed(t)) - "Task t will eventually be completed"
let expr = TLExpr::Eventually(Box::new(
    TLExpr::pred("completed", vec![Term::var("t")])
));

// G(safe(s)) - "System s is always safe"
let expr = TLExpr::Always(Box::new(
    TLExpr::pred("safe", vec![Term::var("s")])
));

Combined Modal & Temporal:

// □(F(goal(a))) - "In all possible worlds, agent a eventually achieves goal"
let expr = TLExpr::Box(Box::new(
    TLExpr::Eventually(Box::new(
        TLExpr::pred("goal", vec![Term::var("a")])
    ))
));

See examples/10_modal_temporal_logic.rs for comprehensive demonstrations.

Parameterized Compilation (Config System Defined)

The compiler defines 6 preset configurations and 26+ configurable strategies:

use tensorlogic_compiler::{CompilationConfig, CompilationConfigBuilder};

// Define preset configurations
let config = CompilationConfig::soft_differentiable();  // Default (neural training)
let config = CompilationConfig::hard_boolean();         // Discrete reasoning
let config = CompilationConfig::fuzzy_godel();          // Gödel fuzzy logic
let config = CompilationConfig::probabilistic();        // Probabilistic semantics

// Or build a custom configuration
let config = CompilationConfigBuilder::new()
    .and_strategy(AndStrategy::Product)           // Product t-norm
    .or_strategy(OrStrategy::ProbabilisticSum)    // Probabilistic s-norm
    .not_strategy(NotStrategy::Complement)        // Standard complement
    .exists_strategy(ExistsStrategy::Max)         // Max aggregation
    .build();

// Note: Full integration into compilation pipeline is in progress
// Currently uses default soft_differentiable strategy

Available Strategies:

Operation	Strategies	Use Cases
AND	Product, Min, ProbabilisticSum, Gödel, ProductTNorm, Łukasiewicz	T-norms for conjunctions
OR	Max, ProbabilisticSum, Gödel, ProbabilisticSNorm, Łukasiewicz	S-norms for disjunctions
NOT	Complement (1-x), Sigmoid	Negation with or without temperature
EXISTS	Sum, Max, LogSumExp, Mean	Different quantifier semantics
FORALL	DualOfExists, Product, Min, MeanThreshold	Universal quantification strategies
IMPLY	ReLU, Material, Gödel, Łukasiewicz, Reichenbach	Various implication operators
MODAL	AllWorldsMin, AllWorldsProduct, Threshold	Necessity/possibility operators
TEMPORAL	Max, Sum, LogSumExp	Eventually/always operators

Advanced: Transitivity Rules

The compiler handles complex rules like transitivity with shared variables:

// knows(x,y) ∧ knows(y,z) → knows(x,z)
let knows_xy = TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]);
let knows_yz = TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("y"), Term::var("z")]);
let knows_xz = TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("z")]);

let premise = TLExpr::and(knows_xy, knows_yz);
let rule = TLExpr::imply(premise, knows_xz);

let graph = compile_to_einsum(&rule)?;

// Generates:
// 1. knows[ab] ∧ knows[bc] → einsum("ab,bc->abc") [contraction over shared 'b']
// 2. Marginalize over 'b' to align with conclusion axes 'ac'
// 3. Apply ReLU(knows[ac] - marginalized_premise[ac])

Optimization Passes

The compiler includes powerful optimization passes that can be applied before or after compilation:

Expression-Level Optimizations

use tensorlogic_compiler::optimize::optimize_negations;
use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::cse::optimize_cse;

// Negation optimization: double negation, De Morgan's laws
let (optimized_expr, neg_stats) = optimize_negations(&expr);
println!("Eliminated {} double negations", neg_stats.double_negations_eliminated);
println!("Applied {} De Morgan's laws", neg_stats.demorgans_applied);

// Common subexpression elimination
let (optimized_expr, cse_stats) = optimize_cse(&expr);
println!("Eliminated {} subexpressions", cse_stats.eliminated_count);

Graph-Level Optimizations

use tensorlogic_ir::graph::optimization::{optimize_graph, OptimizationLevel};

// Apply graph optimizations (DCE, CSE, identity elimination)
let (optimized_graph, stats) = optimize_graph(&graph, OptimizationLevel::Aggressive);
println!("Removed {} nodes", stats.nodes_removed);

// Or use einsum-specific optimizations
use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::einsum_opt::optimize_einsum_graph;
let (optimized_graph, einsum_stats) = optimize_einsum_graph(&graph);
println!("Merged {} einsum operations", einsum_stats.merged_count);

Scope Analysis & Type Checking

The compiler provides production-ready validation passes:

Scope Analysis

use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::scope_analysis::analyze_scopes;

let expr = TLExpr::exists("x", "Person",
    TLExpr::and(
        TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]),
        TLExpr::pred("likes", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("z")]),
    )
);

let analysis = analyze_scopes(&expr);

if !analysis.unbound_vars.is_empty() {
    println!("Unbound variables: {:?}", analysis.unbound_vars);
    println!("Suggestions: {}", analysis.suggest_quantifiers());
    // Output: "Consider adding: ∃y:Domain. ∃z:Domain. ..."
}

Type Checking

use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::type_checking::TypeChecker;
use tensorlogic_ir::PredicateSignature;

let mut checker = TypeChecker::new();

// Register predicate signatures
checker.register_predicate(PredicateSignature {
    name: "knows".to_string(),
    arity: 2,
    arg_types: vec![Some("Person".to_string()), Some("Person".to_string())],
});

// Type check expression
let result = checker.check_types(&expr);
if let Some(error) = result.type_errors.first() {
    println!("Type error: {}", error);
}

Enhanced Diagnostics

use tensorlogic_compiler::passes::diagnostics::{diagnose_expression, DiagnosticLevel};

let diagnostics = diagnose_expression(&expr);

for diag in diagnostics {
    match diag.level {
        DiagnosticLevel::Error => eprintln!("ERROR: {}", diag.message),
        DiagnosticLevel::Warning => eprintln!("WARNING: {}", diag.message),
        DiagnosticLevel::Hint => println!("HINT: {}", diag.message),
        _ => {}
    }

    if let Some(help) = diag.help {
        println!("  Help: {}", help);
    }
}

Compiler Context

The CompilerContext manages compilation state:

use tensorlogic_compiler::CompilerContext;

let mut ctx = CompilerContext::new();

// Register domains
ctx.add_domain("Person", 100);  // 100 possible persons
ctx.add_domain("City", 50);     // 50 cities

// Bind variables to domains
ctx.bind_var("x", "Person")?;
ctx.bind_var("y", "City")?;

// Axes are automatically assigned: x→'a', y→'b', ...

Operation Types

The compiler generates 4 types of operations:

1. Einsum (Tensor Contraction)

// Spec: "ab,bc->ac" (matrix multiplication)
EinsumNode::einsum("ab,bc->ac", vec![tensor0, tensor1])

2. Element-Wise Unary

// Operations: not, relu, sigmoid, etc.
EinsumNode::elem_unary("relu", tensor_idx)

3. Element-Wise Binary

// Operations: add, subtract, multiply, etc.
EinsumNode::elem_binary("subtract", left_idx, right_idx)

4. Reduction

// Reduce over axis 1 (sum/max/min)
EinsumNode::reduce("sum", vec![1], tensor_idx)

Error Handling

The compiler performs extensive validation:

// Arity validation
let p1 = TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]);
let p2 = TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("a")]);  // ❌ Different arity!
validate_arity(&TLExpr::and(p1, p2))?;  // Error: Predicate 'P' has inconsistent arity

// Domain validation
ctx.bind_var("x", "NonExistent")?;  // Error: Domain 'NonExistent' not found

// Axis compatibility (now automatically handled via contraction/marginalization)

Integration with Other Crates

tensorlogic-adapters

Use SymbolTable to provide domain and predicate metadata:

use tensorlogic_adapters::SymbolTable;

let table = SymbolTable::new();
// Add domains and predicates...
// Future: Pass to compiler for enhanced type checking

tensorlogic-scirs-backend

Execute the compiled graph:

use tensorlogic_scirs_backend::Scirs2Exec;
use tensorlogic_infer::TlExecutor;

let executor = Scirs2Exec::new();
let outputs = executor.execute(&graph, &inputs)?;

Performance Considerations

✅ Operation Fusion: Einsum operation merging (completed)
✅ Common Subexpression Elimination: Expression-level and graph-level CSE (completed)
✅ Negation Optimization: De Morgan's laws and double negation elimination (completed)
✅ Dead Code Elimination: Removes unused operations from the graph (completed)
✅ Axis Assignment: Uses lexicographic order ('a', 'b', 'c', ...) for determinism
✅ Temporary Tensors: Named as temp_0, temp_1, ... for debugging
