Logic Tensor Networks (LTN)
Neural-Symbolic Integration for Plant Disease Diagnosis
Logic Tensor Networks (LTN) is a neural-symbolic framework that combines first-order logic with deep learning, enabling the integration of logical reasoning and neural networks. This guide demonstrates how to use LTN for plant disease diagnosis systems, combining agricultural ontologies with MOE architectures.
Core Concepts
1. Mathematical Foundation
LTN extends first-order logic with real-valued semantics:
- Terms: \(t ::= c \mid x \mid f(t_1, ..., t_n)\)
- Formulas: \(\phi ::= P(t_1, ..., t_n) \mid \phi_1 \land \phi_2 \mid \phi_1 \lor \phi_2 \mid \phi_1 \rightarrow \phi_2 \mid \neg \phi \mid \forall x \phi \mid \exists x \phi\)
- Semantics: \([\![\cdot]\!]: \phi \rightarrow [0,1]\)
2. Grounding Mechanism
LTN uses neural networks to ground logical symbols:
- Constants: \([\![c]\!]_\theta \in \mathbb{R}^n\)
- Predicates: \([\![P]\!]_\theta: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow [0,1]\)
- Functions: \([\![f]\!]_\theta: \mathbb{R}^{n \times k} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m\)
Setup and Installation
Basic Usage
1. Defining Constants and Variables
2. Defining Predicates and Functions
# Define predicate using neural networks (following ontology naming conventions)
class PlantPredicateModel(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.layer1 = torch.nn.Linear(2, 10)
self.layer2 = torch.nn.Linear(10, 1)
self.sigmoid = torch.nn.Sigmoid()
def forward(self, x):
x = torch.relu(self.layer1(x))
return self.sigmoid(self.layer2(x))
# Create predicate instance (UpperCamelCase for classes)
Plant = ltn.Predicate(PlantPredicateModel())
# Define function (lowerCamelCase for properties/functions)
growsIn = ltn.Function(
torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(2, 10),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(10, 2)
)
)3. Logical Connectives and Quantifiers
# Logical connectives (following ontology naming patterns)
And = ltn.And()
Or = ltn.Or()
Implies = ltn.Implies()
Not = ltn.Not()
# Quantifiers
Forall = ltn.Forall()
Exists = ltn.Exists()
# Additional predicates for plant disease domain
Disease = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(2, 10),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(10, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
))
# Example formula using proper ontology naming: ∀x Plant(x) ∧ ∃y Disease(y)
formula = Forall(x, Plant(x)) & Exists(y, Disease(y))Application to Ontologies
1. Ontology Axiom Encoding
import torch
import ltn
# Define LTN variables and predicates for plant disease ontology
x = ltn.variable("x", torch.randn(32, 512)) # Plant entities
y = ltn.variable("y", torch.randn(32, 512)) # Disease/symptom entities
# Define predicates based on plant disease ontology (following OWL naming conventions)
# Class predicates (following UpperCamelCase convention)
Plant = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(512, 128),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(128, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # Plant(x): "x is a Plant"
Crop = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(512, 128),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(128, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # Crop(x): "x is a Crop" (subclass of Plant)
Disease = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(512, 128),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(128, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # Disease(y): "y is a Disease"
# Object property predicates (following lowerCamelCase convention)
hasDisease = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(1024, 256), # Concatenated input for pairs
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(256, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # hasDisease(x,y): "x has disease y"
# Additional plant disease predicates following ontology naming patterns
hasSymptom = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(1024, 256),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(256, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # hasSymptom(x,y): "x has symptom y"
affectedBy = ltn.Predicate(torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(1024, 256),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(256, 1),
torch.nn.Sigmoid()
)) # affectedBy(x,y): "x is affected by pathogen y"
# LTN logical operators (consistent naming)
Forall = ltn.Forall()
Implies = ltn.Implies()
And = ltn.And()
# Plant disease ontology axioms in LTN (using proper predicate names)
# Subclass axiom: ∀x (Crop(x) → Plant(x)) - "Every crop is a plant"
subclass_axiom = Forall(x, Implies(Crop(x), Plant(x)))
# Domain restriction: ∀x,y (hasDisease(x,y) → Plant(x)) - "Only plants can have diseases"
domain_restriction = Forall([x, y], Implies(hasDisease(torch.cat([x, y], dim=1)), Plant(x)))
# Range restriction: ∀x,y (hasDisease(x,y) → Disease(y)) - "hasDisease relates to diseases"
range_restriction = Forall([x, y], Implies(hasDisease(torch.cat([x, y], dim=1)), Disease(y)))2. Learning with LTN
# Define optimizer and loss using proper predicate names
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(
list(Plant.parameters()) + list(Crop.parameters()) + list(hasDisease.parameters()),
lr=0.01
)
# Training loop
for epoch in range(1000):
optimizer.zero_grad()
# Compute satisfiability of the knowledge base
sat = (
subclass_axiom() +
domain_restriction() +
range_restriction()
)
# Loss is the negative satisfiability
loss = -sat
# Backpropagate
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
if epoch % 100 == 0:
print(f"Epoch {epoch}, Loss: {loss.item()}")Advanced Topics
1. Handling Uncertain Knowledge
LTN can handle uncertain or probabilistic knowledge through its real-valued semantics:
2. Integration with Agricultural Ontologies for Plant Disease Diagnosis
LTN integrates with agricultural ontologies to enhance plant disease diagnosis with logical constraints:
- Plant-Pathogen Interactions Ontology (PPIO): Host-pathogen relationships
- CropPest Ontology v2: Crop-pest interactions and IPM strategies
- Plant Ontology (PO): Standardized plant anatomy for symptom localization
- AGROVOC: FAO’s multilingual agricultural thesaurus
Let’s demonstrate this using real agricultural data and ontologies.
Loading Agricultural Ontologies from GraphDB
First, let’s load the agricultural ontologies from GraphDB using our enhanced GraphDB utilities:
from pathlib import Path
import sys
sys.path.append('../../python/ontology_study')
from graphdb_utils import GraphDBClient, download_plant_disease_ontologies
from owlready2 import *
import json
# Download agricultural ontologies from GraphDB
success = download_plant_disease_ontologies(
output_dir="data/plant_disease_ontologies",
fmt="turtle",
base_url="http://localhost:7200",
repository="plant-diseases"
)
if success:
print("Agricultural ontologies downloaded successfully")
# Load the merged ontology
onto = get_ontology("data/plant_disease_ontologies/plant-diseases_merged.ttl").load()
# Load extracted domain knowledge
with open("data/plant_disease_ontologies/disease_classes.json", "r") as f:
disease_classes = json.load(f)
with open("data/plant_disease_ontologies/plant_anatomy.json", "r") as f:
anatomy_terms = json.load(f)
with open("data/plant_disease_ontologies/host_pathogen_interactions.json", "r") as f:
interactions = json.load(f)
print(f"Loaded {len(disease_classes)} disease classes")
print(f"Loaded {len(anatomy_terms)} anatomy terms")
print(f"Loaded {len(interactions)} host-pathogen interactions")
else:
print("Failed to load agricultural ontologies - using example data")
# Fallback to example data for demonstration
disease_classes = [
{"label": "Late Blight", "uri": "http://example.org/LateBlight"},
{"label": "Early Blight", "uri": "http://example.org/EarlyBlight"},
{"label": "Powdery Mildew", "uri": "http://example.org/PowderyMildew"}

- Logical Constraints: Incorporates domain knowledge from the ontology
- Uncertainty Handling: Handles cases where symptoms might be ambiguous
- Explainability: Predictions are tied to logical rules from the ontology
- Data Efficiency: Can learn from fewer examples by leveraging logical rules
- Multi-Modal Integration: Can combine image data with other modalities (e.g., environmental data)
Training with LTN
To train this model, we define a loss function that combines:
- Standard cross-entropy loss for classification
- Logical constraints satisfaction loss

}This production-ready approach demonstrates the complete integration of:
- Real Agricultural Ontologies: Using PPIO, CropPest, Plant Ontology, and ENVO
- LTN Framework: Neural-symbolic reasoning with logical constraints
- MOE Architecture: Multiple expert networks for specialized disease domains
- Multimodal Fusion: Combining image features with ontological knowledge
- Attention Mechanisms: Ontology-guided attention for better symptom localization
The system provides:
- Interpretable Predictions: Logical rules explain why certain diseases are predicted
- Domain Knowledge Integration: Agricultural expertise encoded as logical constraints
- Scalable Architecture: MOE design allows adding new disease experts
- Production Ready: Uses real ontologies and established frameworks
This achieves the main project goal of developing a plant disease diagnosis system using ontologies, LLMs, MOE architectures, and multimodal fusion.
