Euston: Training Away Mathematical Sycophancy Without Losing the Mathematics

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Euston is an 8‑B parameter mathematical claim‑verification model that resists producing false derivations when presented with corrupted theorems. It was trained on 3,026 matched true/corrupted statement pairs generated by GraphSynth, a probabilistic factor‑graph generator, and fine‑tuned from DeepSeek‑R1‑8B using GRPO. On a balanced held‑out split, Euston’s balanced accuracy rose from 29.50 % to 63.75 %, and its discrimination gap improved from –0.5 % to +27.5 %, while maintaining comparable general mathematical ability and reducing response length and truncation rates.

FaithSieve: Fine-Grained Evaluation of Math Proofs with Faithful Formal Evidence

FaithSieve is a Lean‑assisted framework that fine‑grains natural‑language mathematical proofs into local reasoning units, extracts typed proof obligations, and verifies them with formal evidence gated by semantic alignment. It introduces two expert‑verified datasets—ProofLoc‑Olympiad and ProofLoc‑University—to benchmark first‑error localization. On these benchmarks, FaithSieve outperforms direct‑judging baselines, achieving 81.43% and 84.5% exact first‑error accuracy respectively.
