PluraMath: Extending Mathematical Reasoning Evaluation Beyond High-Resource Languages

arXiv:2607. 05992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mathematical reasoning has become a central task for evaluating and tuning reasoning Large Language Models (LLMs), yet existing benchmarks remain heavily biased toward high-resource languages, with English and Chinese dominating both pre-training corpora and evaluation suites.

AdaR: A Framework for Equipping LLMs with Adaptive Reasoning

AdaR is a framework designed to enhance large language models (LLMs) with adaptive reasoning for mathematical tasks. It identifies and mitigates spurious reasoning—where models rely on superficial correlations—by generating logically equivalent queries and training with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) to penalize incorrect logic and promote adaptive logic. The approach includes extracting problem‑solving logic, executing code to verify answers, and applying sanity checks, resulting in significant gains in mathematical reasoning performance and improved data efficiency.

Beyond Gold Standards: Epistemic Ensemble of LLM Judges for Formal Mathematical Reasoning

The paper introduces an epistemically and formally grounded ensemble (EFG) of large language model judges to evaluate autoformalization tasks in formal mathematics. It defines four criteria—logical preservation, mathematical consistency, formal quality, and formal validity—to provide a transparent, multi‑granular assessment. Experiments show that this ensemble outperforms coarse‑grained models, offering a scalable and interpretable proxy for evaluating formal mathematical reasoning.
