Researchers have developed SymCE, a new dataset and training environment designed to improve the ability of large language models to generate counterexamples for mathematical theorems. This approach uses per-theorem symbolic verifiers as reward functions, addressing a known limitation where models can solve forward but fail to disprove related false statements. Training with SymCE and reinforcement learning, specifically GRPO, demonstrated that while supervised fine-tuning alone can degrade performance on true theorems, reinforcement learning effectively repairs this and enhances counterexample generation.
