This paper investigates the capacity of large language models to acquire specific mathematical rules, including distributivity and simplifying equations. Researchers developed a rigorous methodology for creating synthetic data containing these rules and fine-tuned large language models on this data. The results show that the model can learn and generalize these rules to some extent, as well as apply them correctly in word problem contexts. This study contributes to our understanding of large language models’ mathematical abilities and potential applications.

This paper looks at how big language models can learn specific math rules like distributivity or simplifying equations. The researchers made a special way to create fake data with these rules and then trained the model on this data. They found that the model can learn some of these rules and use them correctly in word problems. This study helps us understand what large language models can do and how they might be used.
