Vampire With a Brain Is a Good ITP Hammer


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Vampire has been for a long time the strongest first-order automatic theorem prover, widely used for hammer-style proof automation in ITPs such as Mizar, Isabelle, HOL, and Coq. In this work, we considerably improve the performance of Vampire in hammering over the full Mizar library by enhancing its saturation procedure with efficient neural guidance. In particular, we employ a recently proposed recursive neural network classifying the generated clauses based only on their derivation history. Compared to previous neural methods based on considering the logical content of the clauses, our architecture makes evaluating a single clause much less time consuming. The resulting system shows good learning capability and improves on the state-of-the-art performance on the Mizar library, while proving many theorems that the related ENIGMA system could not prove in a similar hammering evaluation.
