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.

Euclid-Omni : A Unified Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Plane Geometry

Euclid-Omni is a unified neuro‑symbolic framework that integrates a formal geometry system with Large Language Models and Vision‑Language Models to solve both calculation and proving problems in Euclidean geometry up to Olympiad level. Its core component, Euclidea, automatically generates deductive reasoning steps and algebraic computations, while a data‑generation pipeline creates synthetic symbolic problems, diagrams, and natural‑language translations for training. Experiments show that VLMs trained on this synthetic data outperform on calculation tasks, and LLMs paired with Euclidea match state‑of‑the‑art proving systems using far less compute and data.

From Symbolic to Geometric: Enabling Spatial Reasoning in Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 04381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) often appear to exhibit spatial reasoning ability; however, this capability is largely \emph{symbolic}, arising from pattern matching over spatial language rather than true \emph{geometric} reasoning over space.

Disentangling 3D Modeling from Spatial Reasoning

In this work, we explore an alternative paradigm for spatial reasoning by explicitly disentangling 3D perception from reasoning, rather than jointly acquiring implicit 3D perception and reasoning through large-scale training. Our key observation is that modern perception models excel at estimating continuous 3D geometry, whereas large language models (LLMs) are particularly effective at compositional and symbolic reasoning.

From Symbolic to Geometric: Enabling Spatial Reasoning in Large Language Models

Recent large language models (LLMs) often appear to exhibit spatial reasoning ability; however, this capability is largely \emph{symbolic}, arising from pattern matching over spatial language rather than true \emph{geometric} reasoning over space. Because LLMs operate on discrete tokens, they lack native support for continuous spatial representations, explicit geometric computation, and structured spatial operators.
