Abstract:
Abstract. Our long-range goal is to implement a program for the machine verification of textbook proofs. We study the task from both the linguistics and deduction perspective and give an in-depth analysis for a sample textbook proof. A three phase model for proof understanding is developed: parsing, structuring and refining. It shows that the combined application of techniques from both NLP and AR is quite successful. Moreover, it allows to uncover interesting insights that might initiate progress in both AI disciplines.
