Formally Solving Answer-Construction Problems in Lean
Researchers have developed a new neuro-symbolic framework called Enumerate-Conjecture-Prove (ECP) designed to tackle answer-construction problems in formal mathematics. This framework combines general large language models for proposing candidate answers with specialized prover LLMs for generating machine-checked proofs. ECP demonstrated success on benchmark datasets, formally solving a portion of answer-construction problems with admissible answers and proofs, outperforming existing LLM baselines. AI
