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.

Learning to Stop without Learning to Stop: Self-Supervised Confidence Training Improves Reasoning Efficiency

The paper demonstrates that fine‑tuning reasoning models to predict their own confidence at intermediate steps—using only 600 self‑supervised examples—substantially improves inference efficiency. Without adding any explicit stopping or length penalties, the models generate up to 25 % fewer tokens while maintaining accuracy on mathematical, scientific, and coding benchmarks across several architectures. The study finds that confidence supervision preserves the models’ high‑level reasoning structure rather than merely suppressing specific behaviors.
