This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.

Minerva: they basically fine-tuned a language model on ArXiv papers and web pages containing LaTeX, so that it can produce latex. This is great because it can do 'literate proofs', interspersing text explanations with written-out math. But there's no mechanism to check the math? You could imagine a few things:

  • give the model access to a calculator (or better yet, mathematica) based on its immediate previous outputs. so if it spits out 80 - 20 = then it sees the calculated result as a possible input it can attend to and maybe reproduce.
  • train a discriminator model to check if logic is correct.
