Solving math word problems

We’ve trained a system that solves grade school math problems with nearly twice the accuracy of a fine-tuned GPT-3 model. It solves about 90% as many problems as real kids: a small sample of 9-12 year olds scored 60% on a test from our dataset, while our system scored 55% on those same problems.

Solving (some) formal math olympiad problems

We built a neural theorem prover for Lean that learned to solve a variety of challenging high-school olympiad problems, including problems from the AMC12 and AIME competitions, as well as two problems adapted from the IMO.

PyraMathBench: Evaluating and Improving Mathematical Capability in Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 03858v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the pivotal role of numerical reasoning as the cornerstone of mathematical capabilities in large language models (LLMs) across applications, few benchmarks evaluate LLMs by integrating numerical processing and mathematical reasoning, hindering the interpretability of failures in math tasks.

Probing the Difficulty Perception Mechanism of Large Language Models

arXiv:2510. 05969v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed on complex reasoning tasks, yet little is known about their ability to internally evaluate problem difficulty, which is an essential capability for adaptive reasoning and efficient resource allocation.
