FormalEvolve is a neuro‑symbolic evolutionary search framework that treats autoformalization as a budgeted test‑time search problem. It builds a compilation‑feasible archive of formal statements and expands it using LLM‑driven mutation, crossover, bounded patch repair, and symbolic AST rewrites to generate diverse, semantically accepted formalizations. In experiments on CombiBench and ProofNet, FormalEvolve achieves higher SH@100 scores and improves theorem‑complete proving under fixed prover budgets compared to no‑archive baselines.

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 GUARD, a neuro‑symbolic system that autoformalizes argumentative material by completing missing premises (guards) before formal verification. It uses large language models to generate candidate guards, Isabelle/HOL to verify them, and a contrastive test to ensure the proof depends on the original premises and does not over‑generalize. Experiments on Debatepedia and ARCT show that GUARD improves verified‑faithful scores by over 30 points and reduces leakage by about 20 points compared to prior LLM‑driven theorem proving methods.
