From Solvers to Research: Large Language Model-Driven Formal Mathematics at the Research Frontier
Short summary
Position paper proposes shifting AI for Mathematics from predefined problem-solvers to research agents capable of tackling frontier challenges like discovering new theorems. Surveys current systems in formal proof generation via LLMs and identifies core limitations in datasets, mathematical exploration, and tool ecosystem. Outlines strategic roadmap for advancing AI4Math toward rigorous research-grade formal reasoning.
