Learned Interventions Enhance Lean 4 Theorem Proving

Researchers have developed a method to integrate learned interventions into the Lean 4 theorem prover's \grind{} tactic. This approach invokes learned heuristics only after standard \grind{} fails, ensuring that proofs already found are not lost. Applied to cost-aware {e}match filtering and a lookahead step, this method improved problem-solving rates and speed, and proved additional theorems that would have otherwise timed out. The study also found that statically predicting case splits based on features was ineffective, suggesting that learning is most beneficial for optimizing bounded search within theorem proving when paired with a reliable symbolic fallback. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective automated theorem provers by optimizing search strategies with learned interventions.
