Guiding Automated Theorem Proving with Machine Learning
Authors: Piepenbrock Jelle
Published: February 2025

Mathematics can be formalized to allow a computer to execute proof steps and recognize whether a statement has been proven. Computer systems that automate mathematics are called automated theorem provers (ATP). The system has inference rules, which prescribe how the axioms and conjecture may be handled during a search for a proof. The number of possible choices at each point in the process can become very large. It would be useful to have a system that can predict which choices are better than other ones, so that a proof may be reached earlier.

In this study, automated theorem proving is combined with machine learning, a field concerned with learning patterns in data. The machine learning component, a graph neural network, is tasked with learning to predict which choices are useful and which ones are not. This information can be learned from already finished proofs. The overall goal is to improve the performance of the automated theorem proving systems in terms of theorems proven in a particular time period. It is shown that instantiation and rewriting-based proving systems can be integrated with machine learning and that the systems improve on benchmark datasets.

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria play a critical role in economic growth, employment generation, and poverty alleviation. However, these businesses are highly vulnerable to economic disruptions such as currency devaluation, inflation, policy instability, and global shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic. This study proposes a framework for developing resilient business models that enhance the adaptability and sustainability of Nigerian SMEs in the face of economic uncertainties. The framework integrates strategic agility, digital transformation, financial literacy, and risk management to mitigate vulnerabilities and foster long-term growth. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys to assess the resilience levels of SMEs across various sectors. The findings indicate that most Nigerian SMEs lack structured risk mitigation strategies, relying instead on reactive measures that often lead to business failure. To address these challenges, this study develops a resilience framework incorporating proactive financial planning, adaptive business strategies, and digital integration. The framework emphasizes the role of digital transformation, including e-commerce adoption, cloud computing, and data analytics, in enhancing operational efficiency and market reach. Furthermore, financial literacy and risk management training are proposed as essential components to help SMEs navigate economic disruptions effectively. The proposed framework also highlights the importance of government policies and private sector support in fostering a resilient SME ecosystem. Recommendations include targeted financial interventions, regulatory reforms, and capacity-building programs to improve SME competitiveness. By leveraging a structured resilience framework, Nigerian SMEs can transition from reactive survival strategies to proactive business continuity planning. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing a contextualized model for enhancing SME resilience in developing economies. Future research should explore sector-specific resilience strategies and the role of artificial intelligence in SME risk management.

International Efforts on Mitigating Pollution

The need for coordinated action and a shared awareness of the global environmental catastrophe have propelled international efforts to reduce pollution in recent decades. Air, water, soil, and plastic waste pollution all have a significant effect on ecosystems, human health, and the climate of the globe. In order to combat pollution and advance sustainable development, a number of international conventions and agreements have been developed.

The groundwork for international collaboration in environmental protection was established during the 1972 Stockholm Conference, the first significant international conference on the subject. The creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which still leads efforts to reduce pollution, was one of the main results. One notable example of how international cooperation can efficiently solve a particular pollution issue is the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which was created to phase out compounds that destroy the ozone layer.

Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration, which promoted sustainable development and pollution control, were the results of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Additionally, two significant turning points in the fight against pollution associated with climate change are the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and the Paris Agreement (2015), the latter of which focuses on lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, regional accords such as the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (2002) and the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea Against Pollution (1976) represent regional initiatives to address particular pollution problems in particular areas.

Even if there has been progress, there are still issues with enforcement, compliance, and dealing with new contaminants. To reduce pollution, preserve biodiversity, and further global sustainability initiatives, international collaboration through conventions and accords is still essential. These conventions are essential forums for countries to coordinate their environmental policies, exchange information, and raise funds for a future free of pollution.

Customer engagement on social media has become a crucial factor in modern digital marketing. This study aims to examine the impact of various social media factors on customer engagement, providing insights into how businesses can optimize their social media strategies. The research focuses on five independent variables—Entertainment, Credibility, Interactivity, Sharing Behavior, and Commenting Behavior—and their influence on the dependent variable, Customer Engagement.

To achieve this objective, data was collected from 228 respondents using a structured questionnaire via Google Forms. The responses were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS4, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of relationships among variables. Several key statistical tests were employed, including Descriptive Statistics, Path Coefficient Analysis, R² (Coefficient of Determination), Effect Size (f²), Bootstrapping, and Reliability & Validity Analysis, to ensure the accuracy and robustness of the findings.

The results indicate that social media factors play a significant role in influencing customer engagement. Among the factors studied, Interactivity and Commenting Behavior emerged as the strongest predictors of engagement, suggesting that customers actively participating in discussions and engaging in interactive experiences are more likely to be engaged with a brand. Conversely, Credibility was found to have a minimal impact, indicating that while trustworthiness is important, it may not be the primary driver of engagement in the social media landscape.

Based on these findings, businesses should prioritize strategies that enhance interactivity and encourage user participation, such as interactive posts, engaging discussions, and features that facilitate real-time responses. By leveraging these elements, brands can create a more engaging social media environment, fostering stronger relationships with customers and enhancing overall brand engagement.
