GAR: Generative Adversarial Reinforcement Learning for Formal Theorem Proving
About
Solving math problems through verifiable languages such as Lean has significantly impacted both the mathematics and computer science communities. Current state-of-the-art models are often trained with expensive online Reinforcement Learning (RL) or expert iteration. However, these approaches rely on fixed problem sets, which causes inefficient training and limits the model to tackle complex problems. To overcome these limitations, we propose **GAR**: *Generative Adversarial Reinforcement learning*, a comprehensive RL training framework that jointly trains the problem composer and solver in an adversarial loop. **GAR** introduces an implicit curriculum learning mechanism, which aligns task difficulty with the prover's evolving capability. It thereby improves the training efficiency and enables stronger performance of proving advanced theorems. Experiments show that with **GAR** training, Goedel-Prover-V2-8B and DeepSeek-Prover-V2-7B achieve an average relative improvement in pass@32 of **4.20%** on MiniF2F-Test benchmark, while DeepSeek-Prover-V2's pass@32 on ProofNet-Test increases from 22.58% to **25.81%**. Beyond formal proving, **GAR** establishes a general RL paradigm for co-evolution of problem generation and solving under verifiable environments.
