Mixing Math Methods: Hybrid Reasoning Gives LLMs a Boost
This paper proposes a new framework, NL-FL HybridReasoning, that enhances the math capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). It integrates natural language (NL) and formal language (FL) reasoning through problem alignment, mixed problem input, and answer extraction techniques, achieving improved accuracy on MATH-500 and AMC benchmarks. The framework also showcases the unique capabilities of FL reasoning by solving problems that are difficult for pure NL models, even with multiple attempts.
