  1. A Survey on Deep Learning for Theorem Proving (2024 · 46 citations)
    Research applying neural methods, and especially large language models, to mathematical proof has grown quickly.
  2. Autoformalize Mathematical Statements by Symbolic Equivalence and Semantic Consistency (2024 · 19 citations)
    The paper addresses a weakness in LLM-based autoformalization, the task of turning natural-language math statements into formal theorems (here, Isabelle/HOL).
  3. Neuro-Symbolic Data Generation for Math Reasoning (2024 · 14 citations)
    The paper asks whether weak LLM performance in mathematics is a basic limitation or a consequence of too little reliable training data.
  4. Proving Olympiad Inequalities by Synergizing LLMs and Symbolic Reasoning (2025 · 11 citations)
    The paper tackles automated formal proving of elementary algebraic inequalities from math Olympiads. Pure LLM provers struggle because formal proof data is scarce and the tactic space is huge. Symbolic methods such as cylindrical algebraic decomposition scale poorly and give opaque, non-readable proofs. The authors…
  5. Reviving DSP for Advanced Theorem Proving in the Era of Reasoning Models (2025 · 7 citations)
    The paper asks whether formal theorem proving in Lean 4 really requires costly RL-trained prover models. The authors return to the older Draft, Sketch and Prove (DSP) pipeline and rebuild it as DSP+, which needs no training or fine-tuning. Each stage combines neural and rule-based components:
