Solving Olympiad Geometry without Human Demonstrations

This repository contains the code necessary to reproduce DDAR and AlphaGeometry, the two geometry theorem provers introduced in the Nature 2024 paper:

<center>"Solving Olympiad Geometry without Human Demonstrations".</center>

Dependencies

For the instructions presented below, we use Python 3.10.9, and dependencies with their exact version numbers listed in requirements.txt.

Our code depends on meliad, which is not a registered package with pip. See instructions below for how to manually install meliad.

Note that one can still run the DDAR solver without the meliad and sentencepiece dependencies.

Run the instructions

All instructions in this README.md can be run in one go by:

bash run.sh

Below, we explain these instructions step-by-step.

Install dependencies, download weights and vocabulary.

Installation is done in a virtual environment:

virtualenv -p python3 .
source ./bin/activate
pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt

Download weights and vocabulary:

bash download.sh
DATA=ag_ckpt_vocab

Finally, install meliad separately as it is not registered with pip:

MELIAD_PATH=meliad_lib/meliad
mkdir -p $MELIAD_PATH
git clone https://github.com/google-research/meliad $MELIAD_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$MELIAD_PATH

Set up common flags

Before running the python scripts, let us first prepare some commonly used flags. The symbolic engine needs definitions and deduction rules to operate. These definitions and rules are provided in two text files defs.txt and rules.txt.

DDAR_ARGS=(
  --defs_file=$(pwd)/defs.txt \
  --rules_file=$(pwd)/rules.txt \
);

Next, we define the flags relevant to the proof search. To reproduce the simple examples below, we use lightweight values for the proof search parameters:

BATCH_SIZE=2
BEAM_SIZE=2
DEPTH=2

SEARCH_ARGS=(
  --beam_size=$BEAM_SIZE
  --search_depth=$DEPTH
)

NOTE: The results in our paper can be obtained by setting BATCH_SIZE=32, BEAM_SIZE=512, DEPTH=16 as described in section Methods. To stay under IMO time limits, 4 V100-GPUs and 250 CPU workers are needed as shown in Extended Data - Figure 1. Note that we also strip away other memory/speed optimizations due to internal dependencies and to promote code clarity.

Assume the downloaded checkpoint and vocabulary is placed in DATA, and the installed meliad source code is at MELIAD_PATH. We make use of the gin library to manage model configurations, following meliad conventions. We now define the flags relevant to the language model:

LM_ARGS=(
  --ckpt_path=$DATA \
  --vocab_path=$DATA/geometry.757.model
  --gin_search_paths=$MELIAD_PATH/transformer/configs,$(pwd) \
  --gin_file=base_htrans.gin \
  --gin_file=size/medium_150M.gin \
  --gin_file=options/positions_t5.gin \
  --gin_file=options/lr_cosine_decay.gin \
  --gin_file=options/seq_1024_nocache.gin \
  --gin_file=geometry_150M_generate.gin \
  --gin_param=DecoderOnlyLanguageModelGenerate.output_token_losses=True \
  --gin_param=TransformerTaskConfig.batch_size=$BATCH_SIZE \
  --gin_param=TransformerTaskConfig.sequence_length=128 \
  --gin_param=Trainer.restore_state_variables=False
);

TIP: Note that you can still run the DDAR solver without defining SEARCH_ARGS and LM_ARGS. In such case, simply disable the import of the lm_inference module inside alphageometry.py.

Run DDAR

The script loads a problem by reading a list of problems from a text file and solves the specific problem in the list according to its name. We pass these two pieces of information through the flags --problems_file and --problem_name. We use --mode=ddar to indicate that we want to use the DDAR solver.

Below we showed this solver solving IMO 2000 P1:

python -m alphageometry \
--alsologtostderr \
--problems_file=$(pwd)/imo_ag_30.txt \
--problem_name=translated_imo_2000_p1 \
--mode=ddar \
"${DDAR_ARGS[@]}"

Expect the following output

037. ∠PQE = ∠EPQ [56] ⇒  EP = EQ

==========================

The output first includes a list of relevant premises that it uses, and then proof steps that gradually build up the proof. All predicates are numbered to track how they are derived from the premises, and to show that the proof is fully justified.

TIP: Additionally passing the flag --out_file=path/to/output/text/file.txt will write the proof to a text file.

Running on all problems in imo_ag_30.txt will yield solutions to 14 of them, as reported in Table 1 in our paper.

Run AlphaGeometry:

As a simple example, we load --problem_name=orthocenter from --problem_file=examples.txt. This time, we pass --mode=alphageometry to use the AlphaGeometry solver and pass the SEARCH_ARGS and LM_ARGS flags.

python -m alphageometry \
--alsologtostderr \
--problems_file=$(pwd)/examples.txt \
--problem_name=orthocenter \
--mode=alphageometry \

==========================

alphageometry.py:505] Solved.

NOTE: Point H is automatically renamed to D, as the LM is trained on synthetic problems where the points are named alphabetically, and so it expects the same during test time.

NOTE: In this implementation of AlphaGeometry, we removed all optimizations that are dependent on internal infrastructure, e.g., parallelized model inference on multi GPUs, parallelized DDAR on multiple CPUs, parallel execution of LM and DDAR, shared pool of CPU workers across different problems, etc. We also removed some memory/speed optimizations and code abstractions in favor of code clarity.

As can be seen in the output, initially DDAR failed to solve the problem. The LM proposes two auxiliary constructions (because BATCH_SIZE=2):

• e = eqdistance e c a b, eqdistance e b a c, i.e., construct E as the intersection of circle (center=C, radius=AB) and circle (center=B, radius=AC). This construction has a score of -1.186.
• e = on_line e a c, on_line e b d, i.e., E is the intersection of AC and BD. This construction has a higher score (-1.102287) than the previous.

Since the second construction has a higher score, DDAR attempted the second construction first and found the solution right away. The proof search therefore terminates and there is no second iteration.

Results

Before attempting to reproduce the AlphaGeometry numbers in our paper, please make sure to pass all tests in the prepared test suite:

bash run_tests.sh

NOTE: Issues#14 reports that although the top beam decodes are still the same, the LM is not giving the same score for different users.

Then, pass the corresponding values for --problem_file (column) and --mode (row), and iterate on all problems to obtain the following results:
