Researchers have developed a new evaluation protocol for natural-language-to-Lean statement formalization, which goes beyond simple compilation checks. Their method combines Lean compilation with cross-model semantic judging and human expert calibration on a benchmark of 400 graduate-level mathematical statements. This approach revealed a significant gap between compilation rates and actual faithfulness, with tool-augmented agents achieving high compilation but lower consensus faithfulness. The study also decomposed the impact of different interventions in formalization pipelines, finding elaboration feedback to be crucial for validity but also exposing more semantic failures, while search improves grounding and selectivity.
