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 re-examine the topic of machine-learned clause selection guidance in saturation-based theorem provers. The central idea, recently popularized by the ENIGMA system, is to learn a classifier for recognizing clauses that appeared in…

During the past decade of continuous development, the theorem prover Vampire has become an automated solver for the combined theories of commonly-used data structures. Vampire now supports arithmetic, induction, and higher-order logic.…

The support for higher-order reasoning in the Vampire theorem prover has recently been completely reworked. This rework consists of new theoretical ideas, a new implementation, and a dedicated strategy schedule. The theoretical ideas are…

Clause selection is arguably the most important choice point in saturation-based theorem proving. Framing it as a reinforcement learning (RL) task is a way to challenge the human-designed heuristics of state-of-the-art provers and to…

This paper presents a novel approach to premise selection, a crucial reasoning task in automated theorem proving. Traditionally, symbolic methods that rely on extensive domain knowledge and engineering effort are applied to this task. In…

Neural methods are transforming automated reasoning for proof assistants, yet integrating these advances into practical verification workflows remains challenging. A hammer is a tool that integrates premise selection, translation to…
