- Good signal for whether this topic deserves a deeper guide later. Goed signaal of dit onderwerp later een uitgebreidere gids verdient.
- Likely worth revisiting after people have used the release in practice. Waarschijnlijk de moeite waard om opnieuw te bekijken zodra mensen het in praktijk gebruiken.
Abstract
We explore the application of transformer-based language models to automated theorem proving. This work is motivated by the possibility that a major limitation of automated theorem provers compared to humans -- the generation of original mathematical terms -- might be addressable via generation from language models. We present an automated prover and proof assistant, GPT‑f, for the Metamath formalization language, and analyze its performance. GPT‑f found new short proofs that were accepted into the main Metamath library, which is to our knowledge, the first time a deep-learning based system has contributed proofs that were adopted by a formal mathematics community.
