DotaMath: Advancing LLMs’ Mathematical Reasoning Through Decomposition and Self-Correction

Enhancing LLMs’ Mathematical Reasoning with DotaMath

Addressing Challenges in Mathematical Reasoning

Large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress in natural language processing tasks but face challenges in complex mathematical reasoning. Researchers are working to enable open-source LLMs to effectively handle complex mathematical tasks by providing them with better feedback and support for comprehensive analysis.

Evolution of Mathematical Reasoning in LLMs

Existing methods like Chain-of-Thought (COT) and Program-of-Thought (POT) have introduced intermediate steps and code tools to improve problem-solving capabilities. Collaborative paradigms combining COT and coding have shown significant accuracy improvements. Data augmentation techniques and supervised fine-tuning datasets have also been explored but still face limitations in handling complex mathematical tasks.

Introducing DotaMath

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and Alibaba Group present DotaMath, an efficient approach to enhance LLMs’ mathematical reasoning capabilities. It employs a decomposition of thought strategy, intermediate process display, and a self-correction mechanism to overcome existing limitations and significantly improve LLMs’ performance on complex mathematical reasoning tasks.

Key Innovations of DotaMath

DotaMath enhances LLMs’ mathematical reasoning through three key innovations: decomposition of thought, intermediate process display, and self-correction. The model breaks complex problems into subtasks, uses code to solve them, and provides detailed feedback from code interpreters.

Exceptional Performance of DotaMath

DotaMath demonstrates exceptional performance across various mathematical reasoning benchmarks, outperforming open-source and proprietary models on elementary and complex tasks. Its success validates its approach to tackling difficult problems and demonstrates enhanced program simulation abilities.
