GeoReform: Reflective Formalization Evolution for Multimodal Geometry Problem Solving
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.12391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) often struggle to identify and use geometric relations in diagrams. Recent methods address this challenge by converting geometric entities, relations, and constraints into explicit textual representations for the model to reason over. However, effective formalization is highly non-trivial: on Geometry3K, structure injection fixes 28 errors but introduces 13 new ones among 200 examples. Redundant relations can distract the model, while ambiguous references to diagram elements can lead it to apply constraint
