Researchers have developed a new protocol to evaluate the faithfulness of natural-language-to-Lean statement formalization, moving beyond simple compilation checks. Their benchmark, spanning graduate-level mathematics, revealed a significant gap between compilation rates and semantic faithfulness, with a tool-augmented agent achieving 89.5% compilation but only 60.5% consensus faithfulness. Targeted human audits confirmed the metric's validity, indicating that existing formalizer models require separate reporting for formal validity, proof competence, and faithful statement generation.
