SkillEvoLean: Mutation-enhanced skill evolution for Lean provers

Kuo Zhou, ZiXion Yang, Lu Zhang

Skill evolution offers a promising way to improve large language model agents without updating their parameters, but its use in formal theorem proving remains underexplored. Existing methods mainly target natural-language reasoning, improving skills by anal...

LeanSide: A Formally Verified Co-Reasoning System for Natural-language Proofs

Chenjun Guo, Manooshree Patel, Arnav Mehta et al.

Large language models are increasingly used as collaborators on deductive-reasoning tasks, but their outputs can hallucinate or pull users away from intended reasoning. Formal proof assistants provide machine-checked verification, but have a steep learning...

Fewer Tokens, Better Action: GPT-6 Astra Robot Agents with 14% Higher Success Rate but 65% Fewer Tokens

Ruiyang Si, Jianxin Bi, Shunyu Yang et al.

Vision language model (VLM) agents can control robots through visual feedback and action primitives, but repeated model invocations and redundant observations incur substantial token overhead. We introduce PyRUA-Lean, an interactive code-execution framework...

A proof of Lehmer's permutation conjecture for neighbor-swap graphs

Tom Verhoeff

In 1965, D. H. Lehmer conjectured that the permutations of every multiset admit an imperfect Hamiltonian traversal by adjacent swaps: a walk in the neighbor-swap graph that visits every word, with some words visited twice in order to reach a neighbor and re...

Law And Order: Tax Law Autoformalization

Sophia Simeng Han, Yoshiki Takashima, Anjiang Wei et al.

Legal systems are increasingly implemented through software, yet scalable methods for translating legal texts into accurate symbolic representations remain underdeveloped. We study this problem through tax law, where forms and filing instructions define lar...
