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.

arXiv:2505. 18492v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mathematical competition problems fall into two broad types: theorem proving, which asks for a proof of a given statement, and answer construction, which requires constructing a property-satifying object with proofs.

RePro is a framework that rewrites benchmark problems for large language models (LLMs) in mathematical problem solving, ensuring that the rewritten problems and their answers are valid and correct through Lean-verified proofs. It integrates Lean-oriented neural automated theorem provers (ATPs) to regenerate answers, achieving 100% well-definedness, feasibility, and answer correctness on GSM8K and MATH datasets. Experiments show that models’ performance drops on these proof‑verified rewritten benchmarks, indicating sensitivity to surface‑level and structural variations and potential memorization effects.

arXiv:2608. 14221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoformalization is commonly framed as translating natural-language mathematical statements into machine-verifiable formal languages such as Lean 4.

arXiv:2606. 12594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Lean theorem provers achieve strong performance only with substantial training and inference compute, driven in part by scarce verified proof data and the long reasoning traces of formal proof search, making both supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and sampling expensive.

The paper introduces TopoAlign, a framework that repurposes code repositories to train Math LLMs by decomposing code into docstrings, main functions, and dependency functions and reassembling them into structures that mirror formal mathematical statements. Using this approach, the authors train three state‑of‑the‑art models—DeepSeek‑Math, Qwen‑3, and Herald—and evaluate them on MiniF2F, Putnam, and ProofNet benchmarks. TopoAlign yields significant performance gains, notably a 17.77% improvement on BEq@10 and a 68.82% boost on typecheck@10 for DeepSeek‑Math, while also providing modest gains for Herald.
