Proof-Refactor: Refactoring Generated Formal Proofs into Modular Artifacts
The paper titled 'Proof-Refactor' addresses the challenges in generating formal proofs using Large Language Models (LLMs). It proposes a framework that enhances the readability and modularity of these proofs through a process-guided approach. The results indicate significant improvements in proof structure without prioritizing length as the main objective.
- ▪Large Language Models often produce formal proofs that lack readability and modularity.
- ▪The proposed framework, Proof-Refactor, decomposes proof refactoring into four phases.
- ▪Experimental results show that Proof-Refactor improves rubric-based refactoring scores significantly.
