Establish generalization beyond the evaluated regimes

Determine whether the observed separation between argmax accuracy and calibration for Moose, Moose+BEARS, and Moose+NeSyDM generalizes beyond the relational, role-chain, and Pizzäiolo regimes evaluated in the paper.

Background

The experiments show that the relative performance of the reasoning-shortcut mitigation methods depends on the supervision regime. BEARS generally improves family or latent-concept accuracy under symbolic ambiguity, whereas NeSyDM often provides better calibration; in relational settings where forward subsumption identifies the latent vector, plain Moose performs best.

The paper does not establish whether this regime-dependent pattern persists for other ontologies, supervision structures, ambiguity patterns, or domain sizes. The authors explicitly defer that generalization question to future work.

Whether this generalizes beyond the regimes tested here is left to future work.
