Template-Based Conjecturing for Automated Induction in Isabelle/HOL

Dear colleagues, I am thrilled to announce that our paper, "Template-Based Conjecturing for Automated Induction in Isabelle/HOL," has been accepted for presentation at the 10th IPM International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineeringhttp://fsen.ir/2023/. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to automated induction in Isabelle/HOL, using template-based conjecturing. Our method significantly reduces the proof …

Definitional Quantifiers Realise Semantic Reasoning for Proof by Induction

This year, I presented my domain-specific language, SeLFiE, and the concept it implements at TAP2022. Proof assistants offer tactics to apply proof by induction, but these tactics rely on inputs given by human engineers. To automate this laborious process, we developed SeLFiE, a boolean query language to represent experienced users’ knowledge on how to apply the induct tactic …

Faster Smarter Proof by Induction in Isabelle/HOL

Do you want to know how to apply proof by induction formally? This year at IJCAI, I presented my paper about the automation tool for proof by induction in Isabelle/HOL. Though IJCAI has already finished, you can find my promotion video for this paper on YouTube. https://youtu.be/4umf8Zhjy7c This work, "Faster Smarter Proof by Induction in …

Simple Dataset for Proof Method Recommendation in Isabelle/HOL

Are you curious about machine learning for theorem proving, but don’t know where to start?  Have you heard about those theorem provers with weird names, like Isabelle, Coq, and Lean?  Actually, it’s not just their names. Their internal architectures can be, … how should I say …, overwhelming, too. Isabelle isn’t like Python or R. …
