When we test a theory using data, it is common to focus on correctness: do the predictions of the theory match what we see in the data? But we also care about completeness: how much of the predictable variation in the data is captured by…

Mechanical reasoning is a key area of research that lies at the crossroads of mathematical logic and artificial intelligence. The main aim to develop mechanical reasoning systems (also known as theorem provers) was to enable mathematicians…

We describe a "top down" approach for automated theorem proving (ATP). Researchers might usefully investigate the forms of the theorems mathematicians use in practice, carefully examine how they differ and are proved in practice, and code…

Static verification relying on an automated theorem prover can be very slow and brittle: since static verification is undecidable, correct code may not pass a particular static verifier. In this work we use metaprogramming to generate code…

We consider a typical integration of induction in saturation-based theorem provers and investigate the effects of Skolem symbols occurring in the induction formulas. In a practically relevant setting we establish a Skolem-free…

As a present to Mizar on its 50th anniversary, we develop an AI/TP system that automatically proves about 60\% of the Mizar theorems in the hammer setting. We also automatically prove 75\% of the Mizar theorems when the automated provers…

We use machine learning to provide a tractable measure of the amount of predictable variation in the data that a theory captures, which we call its "completeness." We apply this measure to three problems: assigning certain equivalents to…

We present a neural network verification toolbox to 1) assess the probability of satisfaction of a constraint, and 2) synthesize a set expansion factor to achieve the probability of satisfaction. Specifically, the tool box establishes with…

We consider the task of automated theorem proving, a key AI task. Deep learning has shown promise for training theorem provers, but there are limited human-written theorems and proofs available for supervised learning. To address this…
