COCOLogic-V2: Identifying Logical Inconsistencies via Truly Hard-Negatives

Abstract

While interpretable models such as concept bottleneck models (CBMs) and program synthesis methods enable verification of model decisions, their evaluation is typically limited to simple tasks, leaving complex reasoning on real-world images largely unexplored. We introduce COCOLogic-V2, an object-centric dataset for visual inductive reasoning on real-world images covering a broad subset of first-order logic. By categorizing samples into positive variants, near-boundary (NB), and far-from-boundary (FB) negatives, COCOLogic-V2 enables fine-grained diagnosis of model accountability. Our evaluations show that models tend to separate positive and FB samples well but fail on NB samples, while perceptual noise and large rule-induced search spaces pose additional challenges in few-shot settings. Together, these results highlight that visual inductive reasoning remains an open challenge and COCOLogic-V2 provides a concrete foundation for advancing methods in this direction.
