Dataset Card for Formal Problem-Solving
This benchmark is part of the official implementation of Beyond Theorem Proving: Formulation, Framework and Benchmark for Formal Problem-Solving.
Our research focuses on:
- What is problem-solving?
- Beyond proving known targets, how can process-verified problem-solving be conducted inside existing formal theorem proving (FTP) environments?
Contribution
- A principled formulation of problem-solving as a deterministic Markov decision process;
- FPS (Formal Problem-Solving), utilizing FTP (formal theorem proving) environments to perform process-verified problem-solving;
- D-FPS (Deductive FPS), decoupling solving and answer verification for better human-alignment;
- RPE (Restricted Propositional Equivalence), a symbolic approach to determine the correctness of answers by formal verification;
- Three benchmarks on problem-solving: FormalMath500, MiniF2F-Solving and PutnamBench-Solving.

Direct Use
Formal Problem-Solving (FPS): Given a formal problem, generate a formal solution. The formal solution should solve all goals and provide a direct answer.
Deductive Formal Problem-Solving (D-FPS): Given a formal problem, generate a forward solution and, optionally, a backward proof. The forward solution should use deductive reasoning to derive a direct answer and prove its completeness. The backward proof should prove the answer's soundness.
Formal Theorem Proving (FTP): Given a formal problem and its ground-truth answer, generate a formal proof to prove the ground-truth's correctness.
Dataset Structure
Each problem contains the following fields:
informal_problem
: The problem in natural language (including LaTeX).informal_answer
: The ground-truth answer in natural language (including LaTeX).informal_solution
: A step-by-step solution in natural language (including LaTeX).header
: Code that should be executed before initializing the formal problem, e.g.,open
s. Ifnull
,open BigOperators Real Nat Topology
should be used. (Unified in*_format_unified.jsonl
)intros
: Independent variables $V$ and hypotheses $\Phi$. $V={v_i}{i=1}^n$ is the set of variables independent to the queriable $a$. $\Phi = {\phi_i}{i=1}^p$ is the set of propositions that depend on $V$ (whose all free variables are included in $V$), consisting of conditions that can be used to deduce the answer.outros
: Conclusions $\Psi = {\psi_i}_{i=1}^q$ is the set of propositions which depend on $V \cup {a}$, consisting of conclusions that should be satisfied.formal_answer
: The ground-truth answer in formal language (Lean 4).formal_answer_type
: The type of the ground-truth answer in formal language (Lean 4).metainfo
: Meta-information of the problem. (Removed in*_format_unified.jsonl
