Learning to Reason with Insight for Informal Theorem Proving

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.16278v1 Announce Type: new Although most of the automated theorem-proving approaches depend on formal proof systems, informal theorem proving can align better with large language models' (LLMs) strength in natural language processing. In this work, we identify a primary bottleneck in informal theorem proving as a lack of insight, namely the difficulty of recognizing the core techniques required to solve complex problems. To address this, we propose a novel framework designed to cultivate this essential reasoning skill and enable LLMs to perform insightful reasoning.
