Researchers have developed ImProver 2, a neurosymbolic framework designed to optimize formal mathematical proofs within the Lean 4 environment. This system employs an expert-iteration pipeline and a scaffold that integrates formal structure with informal abstractions to address challenges like heterogeneous objectives and high computational costs. A 7B-parameter model trained with ImProver 2 has demonstrated performance competitive with larger frontier models and significantly improved efficiency across various metrics, suggesting proof optimization is a scalable and learnable task.
