Very excited to present Minerva🦉: a language model capable of solving mathematical questions using step-by-step natural language reasoning.
Combining scale, data and others dramatically improves performance on the STEM benchmarks MATH and MMLU-STEM. goo.gle/3yGpTN7
Starting from PaLM🌴, Minerva was trained on a large dataset made of webpages with mathematical content and scientific papers. At inference time, we used chain-of-thought/scratchpad and majority voting to boost performance without the assistance of external tools.
