Mathematical Proof Assistant
This challenge focuses on building an advanced AI system capable of understanding complex mathematical questions, retrieving relevant theorems and definitions from a specialized knowledge base, and constructing logical proofs or counter-examples. Participants will leverage LlamaIndex's advanced RAG capabilities to ensure contextual understanding and Gemini 2.5 Pro's strong reasoning for generating robust mathematical arguments. The emphasis will be on accurate grounding of facts, verifiable proof construction, and systematic evaluation of the AI's mathematical competence against novel problems. The project requires designing and populating a structured mathematical knowledge base using LlamaIndex data connectors, integrating a vector store like ChromaDB for efficient retrieval. Developers will orchestrate a multi-stage LlamaIndex agent workflow that can plan, execute, and verify proof steps. The final system should demonstrate robust reasoning by generating mathematically sound proofs and identifying valid counter-examples when applicable, similar to the objectives of the 'First Proof' experiment.

How submissions are scored
These dimensions define what the evaluator checks, how much each dimension matters, and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.
proof_structure_validity
Checks if the generated proof follows a logical, step-by-step structure and uses standard mathematical notation.
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
correctness_of_conclusion
Verifies if the final conclusion or counter-example is mathematically consistent with the initial statement and intermediate steps.
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
retrieval_accuracy
Assesses if relevant theorems and axioms were accurately retrieved from the knowledge base and cited (if applicable).
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
proof_length
Number of logical steps in the generated proof. • target: 8 • range: 3-15
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
relevance_score
Semantic similarity of retrieved context to the query, indicating effective RAG. • target: 0.9 • range: 0.7-1
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
reasoning_confidence
Model's self-assessed confidence level in the generated proof or counter-example. • target: 0.85 • range: 0.5-1
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
