MathCoder-VL: Bridging Vision and Code for Enhanced Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning
Repo: https://github.com/mathllm/MathCoder
Paper: https://huggingface.co/papers/2505.10557
Introduction
We introduce MathCoder-VL, a series of open-source large multimodal models (LMMs) specifically tailored for general math problem-solving. We also introduce FigCodifier-8B, an image-to-code model.
Base Model | Ours |
---|---|
Mini-InternVL-Chat-2B-V1-5 | MathCoder-VL-2B |
InternVL2-8B | MathCoder-VL-8B |
Usage
For training and inference code, please refer to InternVL.
Prompt for TikZ Code Generation
<image>
Please generate the corresponding TikZ code that accurately represents the visual elements in the image. TikZ is a powerful tool for creating vector graphics within LaTeX documents. Your generated code should be precise, well-structured, and should recreate the image as faithfully as possible.

Prompt for Python Code Generation
Please provide the Python code needed to reproduce this image.

Training Data
The models are trained on the MathCodeInstruct Dataset.

Introduction
The recently released GPT-4 Code Interpreter has demonstrated remarkable proficiency in solving challenging math problems, primarily attributed to its ability to seamlessly reason with natural language, generate code, execute code, and continue reasoning based on the execution output. In this paper, we present a method to fine-tune open-source language models, enabling them to use code for modeling and deriving math equations and, consequently, enhancing their mathematical reasoning abilities.
We propose a method of generating novel and high-quality datasets with math problems and their code-based solutions, referred to as MathCodeInstruct. Each solution interleaves natural language, code, and execution results.
We also introduce a customized supervised fine-tuning and inference approach. This approach yields the MathCoder models, a family of models capable of generating code-based solutions for solving challenging math problems.
Impressively, the MathCoder models achieve state-of-the-art scores among open-source LLMs on the MATH (45.2%) and GSM8K (83.9%) datasets, substantially outperforming other open-source alternatives. Notably, the MathCoder model not only surpasses ChatGPT-3.5 and PaLM-2 on GSM8K and MATH but also outperforms GPT-4 on the competition-level MATH dataset. The proposed dataset and models will be released upon acceptance.

Usage
Model deployment
We use the Text Generation Inference (TGI) to deploy our MathCoders for response generation.
TGI is a toolkit for deploying and serving Large Language Models (LLMs). TGI enables high-performance text generation for the most popular open-source LLMs, including Llama, Falcon, StarCoder, BLOOM, GPT-NeoX, and T5. Your can follow the guide here.
After successfully installing TGI, you can easily deploy the models using deploy.sh
.
model_path="local model path"
max_input_tokens=1536
max_total_tokens=2048
set -x
hostname -I # print the host ip
text-generation-launcher --port 8000 \
--max-batch-prefill-tokens ${max_input_tokens} \
--max-input-length ${max_input_tokens} \
--max-total-tokens ${max_total_tokens} \
--model-id ${model_path}
Inference
We provide a script for inference. Just replace the ip
and port
in the following command correctly with the API forwarded by TGI like:
python inference.py --pnum=4 --outdir=outs/debug --ip=10.119.18.159 --port=8001 --type=test --dataset=GSM8K
We also open-source all of the model outputs from our MathCoders under the outs/ folder.
Evaluation
To evaluate the predicted answer, run the following command:
python evaluate.py outs/MathCoder-L-7b/MATH/MATH_test_result-20230917-2026.jsonl
