From Symbolic Perception to Logical Deduction: A Framework for Guiding Language Models in Geometric Reasoning

The paper introduces a framework that combines a Geometric Vision Parser and a Symbolic Solver to enable a Large Language Model to solve complex plane geometry problems. By translating diagrams into symbolic representations and performing formal deductions, the approach reduces hallucinations and produces interpretable, human-like solutions. Experiments on a new benchmark from 2025 Chinese Zhongkao exams show performance comparable to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
