Abstract

Geometry reasoning is naturally stateful: solving a problem repeatedly alternates between structural proposals and exact deductions. We formulate this process as dense neural-symbolic coupling, in which neural guidance and symbolic execution share a typed state and communicate through executable actions at every search step. Neural proposals contribute theorem instances, constructions, and algebraic bridges; the symbolic runtime applies registered rules, propagates exact constraints, and records provenance. A nested controller allocates computation first between neural and symbolic proposal sources and then among admitted actions. We instantiate the framework in OmniGeo, a single solver for plane, analytic, and solid geometry. With Claude Sonnet 4.6, OmniGeo reaches 94.2%, 88.5%, and 89.8% on FormalGeo7K, Conic10K, and SolidFGeo, respectively (90.8% macro average), and solves 21/30 IMO-AG-30 problems.

Verifiable Geometry Problem Solving: Solver-Driven Autoformalization and Theorem Proposing

Geometry Problem Solving have increasingly adopt the neuro-symbolic paradigm, combining neural intuition with symbolic rigor. However, current frameworks suffer from severe bottlenecks in two core stages: autoformalization, which treats multimodal translation as a static task decoupled from downstream solver compatibility, and theorem prediction, where solvers frequently hit a deductive impasse due to fixed rule libraries. To address these, we propose SD-GPS, a solver-driven framework that treats the symbolic solver as an execution oracle throughout both formalization and deduction. First, Solver-Driven Autoformalization unifies supervised formal-language adaptation and solvability-guided reinforcement learning into a single module built on QwenVL3-2B, making executability the central training signal. Second, Verified Theorem Proposing introduces an impasse-aware agent that proposes local auxiliary lemmas from current proof states, ensuring soundness by filtering all proposals through symbolic verification. Empirical evaluations on Geometry3K and PGPS9K demonstrate that SD-GPS consistently outperforms existing MLLM, neural, and neuro-symbolic methods across standard completion, multiple-choice, and cross-modal reference regimes, proving that closing the loop between multimodal perception and symbolic execution significantly improves geometric reasoning, offering profound insights into how neural agents can be grounded by formal systems to achieve verifiable problem-solving capabilities.

Hilbert-Geo: Solving Solid Geometric Problems by Neural-Symbolic Reasoning

Geometric problem solving, as a typical multimodal reasoning problem, has attracted much attention and made great progress recently, however most of works focus on plane geometry while usually fail in solid geometry due to 3D spatial diagrams and complex reasoning. To bridge this gap, we introduce Hilbert-Geo, the first unified formal language framework for solid geometry, including an extensive predicate library and a dedicated theorem bank. Based on this framework, we propose a Parse2Reason method containing two steps of first parsing then reasoning. In the parsing step, we utilize conditional description language (CDL), a formalized language composed of predicates specifically designed to construct geometric conditions, to represent both problem description (natural text) and solid diagrams (visual image). In the reasoning step, we leverage those formal CDL and the theorem bank to perform relational inference and algebraic computation, generating strictly correct, verifiable, and human-readable reasoning processes. Notably, our proposed Hilbert-Geo is also applicable to plane geometry. To advance geometric reasoning, we curate two expert-annotated dataset SolidFGeo2k and PlaneFGeo3k, which are furnished with geometric formal language annotations, solutions and answers. Extensive experiments show that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance 77.3% in SolidFGeo2k and 84.1% in MathVerse-Solid (one small subset in MathVerse dedicated to solid geometry), substantially outperforming leading MLLMs, such as Gemini-2.5-pro (54.2% on SolidFGeo2k) and GPT-5 (62.9% on MathVerse-Solid). In addition, our method achieves the SOTA accuracy 80.2% in PlaneFGeo3k, demonstrating the generality of the Hilbert-Geo in geometric reasoning.

BiNSGPS: Geometry Problem Solving via Bidirectional Neuro-Symbolic Interaction

Geometry problem solving poses distinct challenges in artificial intelligence. Existing approaches typically fall into two paradigms: symbolic methods, which exhibit limited adaptability, and neural methods, which are prone to hallucinations. Recent neuro-symbolic hybrids predominantly rely on a unidirectional pipeline where neural outputs are fed into solvers without feedback, making system brittle to early-stage errors. To break this unidirectional bottleneck, we propose BiNSGPS, a framework that establishes Bidirectional Neuro-Symbolic Interaction (BiNS) between a MLLM Adviser and a Symbolic Solver. MLLM Adviser actively incorporates feedback from the symbolic solver to dynamically rectify inconsistent formal representations or propose auxiliary hypotheses, resolving symbolic conflicts and facilitating complex deductions.
