Title:Can LLM generate interesting mathematical research problems?

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:This paper is the second one in a series of work on the mathematical creativity of LLM. In the first paper, the authors proposed three criteria for evaluating the mathematical creativity of LLM and constructed a benchmark dataset to measure it. This paper further explores the mathematical creativity of LLM, with a focus on investigating whether LLM can generate valuable and cutting-edge mathematical research problems. We develop an agent to generate unknown problems and produced 665 research problems in differential geometry. Through human verification, we find that many of these mathematical problems are unknown to experts and possess unique research value.

Visual Graph Scaffolds for Structural Reasoning in Large Language Models

A new study reveals that visual graphs can serve as internal scaffolds to organize reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs), rather than just acting as external knowledge sources. This visual guidance significantly outperforms flattened text representations in complex multi-hop reasoning tasks.

Handoff Debt: The Rediscovery Cost When Coding Agents Take Over Interrupted Tasks

This paper introduces 'handoff debt', the cost of rediscovery when a successor coding agent resumes an interrupted task. It demonstrates that providing rich context during handoffs significantly improves efficiency, reducing prompt tokens by up to 63%.
