The neural-symbolic rule induction framework introduced in this paper efficiently discovers compact sets of temporal logic rules to explain irregular events of interest. The approach combines the temporal point process model with a differentiable loss function, guiding the learning of explanatory logic rules and their weights end-to-end. Predicates and logic rules are represented as vector embeddings, with predicate embeddings fixed and rule embeddings trained via gradient descent. A sequential covering algorithm is used to make the rule learning process more efficient and flexible. The approach demonstrates notable efficiency and accuracy across synthetic and real datasets, surpassing state-of-the-art baselines by a wide margin.

This paper helps us understand how to find rules that explain interesting events in time. It’s like trying to figure out why something unusual happened at a certain moment. The researchers developed a special way to learn these rules using computers and math. They tested it on some real-world data and found that it was very good at finding the right explanations.
