Math AI Lab
The University of Washington Math AI Lab is a research and education organization focused on using AI for math, founded by Jarod Alper and Vasily Ilin.
Publications & Preprints
Selected recent Math AI Lab papers. The full research page collects the lab's current conference papers, workshop papers, preprints, and essays.
Estimating probability density and its score from samples remains a core problem in generative modeling, Bayesian inference, and kinetic theory. DiScoFormer bridges classical kernel methods and neural score models with a plug-in transformer-based estimator.
ICLR 2026, Logical Reasoning of LLMs Workshop Semantic Search over 9 Million Mathematical TheoremsSearching for mathematical results remains difficult because most tools retrieve entire papers, while mathematicians and theorem-proving agents often seek a specific theorem. This work introduces semantic theorem retrieval across a unified corpus of 9.2 million theorem statements.
ICLR 2026, VerifAI Workshop Learning to Repair Lean Proofs from Compiler FeedbackAs neural theorem provers become increasingly agentic, the ability to interpret and act on compiler feedback is critical. This work studies a fine-tuned repair model trained on erroneous Lean proofs paired with compiler diagnostics and corrections.
ICLR 2026, AI with Recursive Self-Improvement Workshop CircuitBuilder: From Polynomials to Circuits via Reinforcement LearningMotivated by auto-proof generation and Valiant's VP vs. VNP conjecture, this project formulates arithmetic circuit discovery as a single-player game where a reinforcement learning agent builds a circuit within a fixed number of operations.
