• Abstract summary: We propose a framework for completing incomplete conjectures and incomplete proofs. The framework can turn a conjecture with missing assumptions into a proper theorem. Also, the proposed framework can help in completing a proof sketch into a human-readable and machine-checkable proof.

• Abstract: Conjecturing and theorem proving are activities at the center of mathematical practice and are difficult to separate. In this paper, we propose a framework for completing incomplete conjectures and incomplete proofs. The framework can turn a conjecture with missing assumptions and with an under-specified goal into a proper theorem. Also, the proposed framework can help in completing a proof sketch into a human-readable and machine-checkable proof. Our approach is focused on synthetic geometry, and uses coherent logic and constraint solving. The proposed approach is uniform for all three kinds of tasks, flexible and, to our knowledge, unique such approach.

  Minimo is an agent that learns to pose problems for itself (conjecturing) and solve them (theorem proving) We combine methods for constrained decoding and type-directed synthesis to sample valid conjectures from a language model. Our agent targets generating hard but provable conjectures - a moving target, since its own theorem proving ability also improves as it trains.

  We introduce a neuro-symbolic framework for autoformalizing Euclidean geometry. One challenge is that informal proofs rely on diagrams, leaving gaps in texts that are hard to formalize. We provide automatic semantic evaluation for autoformalized theorem statements.

  We propose XoT, an integrated problem solving framework by prompting LLMs with diverse reasoning thoughts. For each question, XoT always begins with selecting the most suitable method then executes each method iteratively. Within each iteration, XoT actively checks the validity of the generated answer and incorporates the feedback from external executors.

We formulate the process of ITP as a Markov decision process (MDP) in which each state represents a set of potential derivation paths. We show that the framework provides comparable performance to that of the approaches that use human experts.
