VAR-MATH: Probing True Mathematical Reasoning in LLMs via Symbolic Multi-Instance Benchmarks
Published in arXiv, 2025
This work introduces VAR-MATH, a symbolic multi-instance benchmark that probes whether LLM mathematical gains reflect genuine reasoning rather than benchmark-specific overfitting or memorization.
