Probabilistic circuit (PC) structure learning is hampered by greedy algorithms that make irreversible, locally optimal decisions. We propose SymCircuit, which replaces greedy search with a learned generative policy trained via entropy-regularized reinforcement learning. Instantiating the RL-as-inference framework in the PC domain, we show the optimal policy is a tempered Bayesian posterior, recovering the exact posterior when the regularization temperature is set inversely proportional to the dataset size. The policy is implemented as SymFormer, a grammar-constrained autoregressive Transformer with tree-relative self-attention that guarantees valid circuits at every generation step. We introduce option-level REINFORCE, restricting gradient updates to structural decisions rather than all tokens, yielding an SNR (signal to noise ratio) improvement and >10 times sample efficiency gain on the NLTCS dataset. A three-layer uncertainty decomposition (structural via model averaging, parametric via the delta method, leaf via conjugate Dirichlet-Categorical propagation) is grounded in the multilinear polynomial structure of PC outputs. On NLTCS, SymCircuit closes 93% of the gap to LearnSPN; preliminary results on Plants (69 variables) suggest scalability.
