Formalization Paper

Formalization research focuses on automatically translating informal statements (e.g., natural language descriptions of mathematical theorems, software requirements, or safety scenarios) into formal, machine-verifiable languages. Current efforts concentrate on improving the accuracy of large language models for this task, often by incorporating type-checking mechanisms and modular formalization strategies to address limitations in generating syntactically correct and logically consistent representations. This work is significant for advancing automated verification in diverse fields, from software engineering and autonomous systems to mathematical proof assistance and ethical algorithm design, ultimately improving reliability and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration.
