Merged summary

TL;DR - LLMs improve mathematical and logical reasoning by distilling solution traces into reusable natural-language abstractions. The results suggest models can benefit from accumulated experience without relying on a stronger teacher.

  • Abstractions are extracted from MATH solution traces into a retrievable library.
  • The framework supports inference-time retrieval and abstraction-augmented RL training prompts.
  • Self-extracted abstractions perform comparably to teacher-extracted ones.
  • The approach transfers across datasets and models.
