AI 数学家(AIM) 是一个新颖的框架,旨在克服当前大型推理模型(LRMs)通常局限于竞赛级数学的局限性。通过引入用于更长解题路径的高级探索机制以及用于严格程序严谨性的悲观合理验证方法,AIM 解决了现实世界数学研究的内在复杂性。实验表明,AIM 能够在各种数学学科中自主构建大量的证明组件并揭示非平凡的见解,指向了完全自动化的数学发现的未来。
AI Mathematician (AIM) is a novel framework designed to overcome the limitations of current Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that are typically confined to competition-level mathematics. By introducing an advanced exploration mechanism for longer solution paths and a pessimistic reasonable verification method for strict procedural rigor, AIM tackles the intrinsic complexities of real-world mathematical research. Experiments demonstrate that AIM can autonomously construct substantial proof components and uncover non-trivial insights across various mathematical disciplines, pointing toward a future of fully automated mathematical discovery.

🔬 摘要
🔬 Abstract
大型推理模型(LRMs)近年来在数学能力方面取得了重大进展。然而,这些成功主要局限于竞赛级问题。在这项工作中,我们提出了 AI 数学家(AIM) 框架,该框架利用 LRMs 的推理能力来支持前沿数学研究。
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have made significant progress in mathematical capabilities in recent times. However, these successes have been primarily confined to competition-level problems. In this work, we propose the AI Mathematician (AIM) framework, which harnesses the reasoning strength of LRMs to support frontier mathematical research.
与竞赛相比,我们识别出了数学研究的两个关键挑战: 1. 研究问题固有的复杂性。 2. 对程序严谨性的严格要求。
We have identified two critical challenges of mathematical research compared to competition: 1. The intrinsic complexity of research problems. 2. The strict requirement of procedural rigor.
为了应对这些挑战,AIM 采用了两大核心策略: * 一个用于培育更长解题路径的探索机制。 * 一个用于确保可靠性的悲观合理验证方法。
To address these challenges, AIM incorporates two core strategies: * An exploration mechanism to foster longer solution paths. * A pessimistic reasonable verification method to ensure reliability.
早期版本的 AIM 已经展现出解决研究级任务的强大能力。我们在几个现实世界的数学课题上进行了广泛的实验,并取得了令人瞩目的成果。AIM 能够在每个研究领域内自主构建相当大比例的证明,并揭示非平凡的见解。这些发现突显了 LRMs 在数学发现中的潜力,并表明基于 LRM 的智能体系统未来可以显著加速数学研究。
This early version of AIM already exhibits strong capability in tackling research-level tasks. We conducted extensive experiments across several real-world mathematical topics and obtained promising results. AIM is able to autonomously construct substantial portions of proofs and uncover non-trivial insights within each research area. These findings highlight the potential of LRMs in mathematical discovery and suggest that LRM-based agent systems could significantly accelerate mathematical research in the future.
