AoA: Theorem Proving Agent over Abstract Syntax Tree of Redesigned Language

Qiyuan Xu, Joshua Ong Jun Leang, Renxi Wang +4

Interactive theorem proving (ITP) underpins program verification and formalized mathematics, but its manual effort limits scalability. LLM-based proof agents promise to ease this e…

PiCSAR: Probabilistic Confidence Selection And Ranking for Reasoning Chains

Joshua Ong Jun Leang, Zheng Zhao, Aryo Pradipta Gema +7

The paper proposes PiCSAR, a training-free scoring method that uses the joint log-likelihood of reasoning steps and final answer to select the most reliable reasoning chain from mu…

OpenSIR: Open-Ended Self-Improving Reasoner

Wai-Chung Kwan, Joshua Ong Jun Leang, Pavlos Vougiouklis +3

Recent advances in large language model (LLM) reasoning through reinforcement learning rely on annotated datasets for verifiable rewards, which may limit models' ability to surpass…

Pythagoras-Prover: Advancing Efficient Formal Proving via Augmented Lean Formalisation

Joshua Ong Jun Leang, Zheng Zhao, Mihaela Cătălina Stoian +5

Modern Lean theorem provers achieve strong performance only with substantial training and inference compute, driven in part by scarce verified proof data and the long reasoning tra…

SCOPE: Self-Play via Co-Evolving Policies for Open-Ended Tasks

Wai-Chung Kwan, Aryo Pradipta Gema, Joshua Ong Jun Leang +1

Self-play can train language models without external supervision. However, existing methods require rule-checkable answers, leaving open-ended tasks dependent on curated prompts or…

Can I Have Your Order? Monte-Carlo Tree Search for Slot Filling Ordering in Diffusion Language Models

Joshua Ong Jun Leang, Yu Zhao, Mihaela Cătălina Stoian +3

While plan-and-infill decoding in Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) shows promise for mathematical and code reasoning, performance remains highly sensitive to slot infilling order, of…
