1. AlphaMath Almost Zero: Process Supervision without Process (2024 · 120 citations)
   Most recent work that improves LLM math reasoning fine-tunes models on step-by-step solutions written by human experts or GPT-4, which is costly to produce.
2. ReForm: Reflective Autoformalization with Prospective Bounded Sequence Optimization (2025 · 8 citations)
   Autoformalization turns natural-language math problems into Lean statements that a machine can check. Current LLMs usually produce code that compiles, but the statements often change the problem's meaning. The authors argue this happens because models translate in one shot and never review their own output. ReForm…
