Goedel-Prover-V2: Scaling Formal Theorem Proving with Scaffolded Data Synthesis and Self-Correction

ICLR 2026poster

Automated theorem proving (ATP) --- the task of generating a proof that passes automated proof verification given a math question in formal language --- is a critical challenge at the intersection of mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We introduce Goedel-Prover-V2, a family of two languag…

Lean Finder: Semantic Search for Mathlib That Understands User Intents

ICLR 2026poster

We present Lean Finder, a semantic search engine for Lean and mathlib that understands and aligns with the intents of mathematicians. Progress in formal theorem proving is often hindered by the difficulty of locating relevant theorems and the steep learning curve of the Lean 4 language, making advan…

ProofOptimizer: Training Language Models to Simplify Proofs without Human Demonstrations

ICLR 2026poster

Neural theorem proving has advanced rapidly in the past year, reaching IMO gold-medalist capabilities and producing formal proofs that span thousands of lines. Although such proofs are mechanically verified by formal systems like Lean, their excessive length renders them difficult for humans to comp…

VERINA: Benchmarking Verifiable Code Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated in software development, but ensuring correctness in LLM-generated code remains challenging and often requires costly manual review. Verifiable code generation---jointly generating code, specifications, and proofs of code-specification alignme…

Proving Olympiad Inequalities by Synergizing LLMs and Symbolic Reasoning

ICLR 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) can prove mathematical theorems formally by generating proof steps (\textit{a.k.a.} tactics) within a proof system. However, the space of possible tactics is vast and complex, while the available training data for formal proofs is limited, posing a significant challenge…

Autoformalizing Euclidean Geometry

ICML 2024poster

Autoformalization involves automatically translating informal math into formal theorems and proofs that are machine-verifiable. Euclidean geometry provides an interesting and controllable domain for studying autoformalization. In this paper, we introduce a neuro-symbolic framework for autoformalizin…

SciInstruct: a Self-Reflective Instruction Annotated Dataset for Training Scientific Language Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in assisting scientific discovery. However, such applications are currently limited by LLMs' deficiencies in understanding intricate scientific concepts, deriving symbolic equations, and solving advanced numerical calculations. To bridge these gaps, we…

Infinite Photorealistic Worlds Using Procedural Generation

CVPR 2023poster

We introduce Infinigen, a procedural generator of photorealistic 3D scenes of the natural world. Infinigen is entirely procedural: every asset, from shape to texture, is generated from scratch via randomized mathematical rules, using no external source and allowing infinite variation and composition…

LeanDojo: Theorem Proving with Retrieval-Augmented Language Models

NeurIPS 2023oral

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in proving formal theorems using proof assistants such as Lean. However, existing methods are difficult to reproduce or build on, due to private code, data, and large compute requirements. This has created substantial barriers to research on machine le…

A Study of Face Obfuscation in ImageNet

ICML 2022spotlight

Face obfuscation (blurring, mosaicing, etc.) has been shown to be effective for privacy protection; nevertheless, object recognition research typically assumes access to complete, unobfuscated images. In this paper, we explore the effects of face obfuscation on the popular ImageNet challenge visual…

Rel3D: A Minimally Contrastive Benchmark for Grounding Spatial Relations in 3D

NeurIPS 2020spotlight

Understanding spatial relations (e.g., laptop on table) in visual input is important for both humans and robots. Existing datasets are insufficient as they lack large-scale, high-quality 3D ground truth information, which is critical for learning spatial relations. In this paper, we fill this gap by…

SpatialSense: An Adversarially Crowdsourced Benchmark for Spatial Relation Recognition

ICCV 2019poster

Understanding the spatial relations between objects in images is a surprisingly challenging task. A chair may be "behind" a person even if it appears to the left of the person in the image (depending on which way the person is facing). Two students that appear close to each other in the image may no…
