Draft-and-Prune: Improving the Reliability of Auto-formalization for Logical Reasoning

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.17233v2 Announce Type: replace Auto-formalization (AF) translates natural-language reasoning problems into solver-executable programs, enabling symbolic solvers to perform sound logical deduction. In practice, however, AF pipelines are currently brittle: programs may fail to execute, or execute but encode incorrect semantics. While prior work largely mitigates syntactic failures via repairs based on solver feedback, reducing semantics failures remains a major bottleneck.
