The authors return to the older Draft, Sketch and Prove (DSP) pipeline and rebuild it as DSP+, which needs no training or fine-tuning. Each stage combines neural and rule-based components: 2. **[StepFun-Formalizer: Unlocking the Autoformalization Potential of LLMs through Knowledge-Reasoning Fusion](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2025-stepfun-formalizer-unlocking-autoformalization/)** *(2025 · 7 citations)* Autoformalization means converting natural-language math problems into formal statements, here in Lean 4. Current LLM approaches are still inaccurate. General-purpose models often misuse Lean details, such as calling functions that do not exist. Specialized translators trained on narrow annotated data tend to misread… ## Co-authors here 12 of 14 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Di Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/di-huang/) - [Fan Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fan-yang/) - [Hui Xue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hui-xue/) - [Jie Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-yan/) - [Lei Qi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lei-qi/) - [Rui Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-zhang/) - [Ruosi Wan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruosi-wan/) - [Shijie Shang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shijie-shang/) - [Xian Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xian-zhang/) - [Xing Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xing-hu/) - [Xinyi Le](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyi-le/) - [Yue Peng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yue-peng/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 14 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenrui-cao/cited-by/).
