However, it requires expert users to pick tactics and their arguments at every step. Earlier learning-based provers mostly imitate the few human proofs stored in libraries and plug the learned model into a fixed search… ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Cezary Kaliszyk](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/cezary-kaliszyk/) - [Josef Urban](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/josef-urban/) - [Ramana Kumar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ramana-kumar/) - [Thibault Gauthier](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/thibault-gauthier/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Journal of Automated Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/journal-of-automated-reasoning/): [Journal of Automated Reasoning 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/journal-of-automated-reasoning/2018/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 29 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [16 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-norrish/cited-by/).
