Bridging Symbolic Control and Neural Reasoning in LLM Agents: The Structured Cognitive Loop

arXiv — cs.CLWednesday, November 26, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • The introduction of the Structured Cognitive Loop (SCL) addresses critical architectural challenges faced by large language model (LLM) agents, such as entangled reasoning and memory volatility. SCL modularizes cognition into five distinct phases: Retrieval, Cognition, Control, Action, and Memory, enhancing the explainability and controllability of LLMs through Soft Symbolic Control.
  • This development is significant as it promises to improve the reliability and performance of LLMs in complex reasoning tasks, achieving zero policy violations and complete decision traceability, which are essential for applications requiring high accountability.
  • The evolution of LLMs is marked by ongoing efforts to enhance their capabilities, including frameworks like DEVAL for evaluating derivation capabilities and collaborative systems like BeMyEyes that integrate multimodal reasoning. These advancements highlight a broader trend towards creating more robust, interpretable, and versatile AI systems, addressing both technical limitations and user needs.

ClimateIQA: A New Dataset and Benchmark to Advance Vision-Language Models in Meteorology Anomalies Analysis
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new dataset named ClimateIQA has been introduced to enhance the capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in analyzing meteorological anomalies. This dataset, which includes 26,280 high-quality images, aims to address the challenges faced by existing models like GPT-4o and Qwen-VL in interpreting complex meteorological heatmaps characterized by irregular shapes and color variations.
LLaVAction: evaluating and training multi-modal large language models for action understanding
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The research titled 'LLaVAction' focuses on evaluating and training multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) for action understanding, reformulating the EPIC-KITCHENS-100 dataset into a benchmark for MLLMs. The study reveals that leading MLLMs struggle with recognizing correct actions when faced with difficult distractors, highlighting a gap in their fine-grained action understanding capabilities.
DriveRX: A Vision-Language Reasoning Model for Cross-Task Autonomous Driving
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
DriveRX has been introduced as a vision-language reasoning model aimed at enhancing cross-task autonomous driving by addressing the limitations of traditional end-to-end models, which struggle with complex scenarios due to a lack of structured reasoning. This model is part of a broader framework called AutoDriveRL, which optimizes four core tasks through a unified training approach.
