LLMs' formalization accuracy improved with roundtrip verification and repair

Researchers have developed a novel roundtrip verification method to assess the faithfulness of natural language formalizations produced by large language models. This technique involves translating a formalized statement back into natural language, re-formalizing it, and then using a formal tool to check for logical equivalence between the two formalizations. When discrepancies arise, a diagnostic and repair process is employed, which significantly improved formal equivalence from 45-61% to 83-85% for models like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2. AI
