DeepMind, the Google AI R&D lab, believes that the key to more capable AI systems might lie in uncovering new ways to solve challenging geometry problems. To that end, DeepMind today unveiled ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1917, the Japanese mathematician Sōichi Kakeya posed what at first seemed like nothing more than a fun exercise in geometry. Lay an ...

Computers are working to solve an age-old geometry problem. Humans can’t “square the circle” by hand, which was proven in the 1800s. Computer solutions involve infinity, complexity, and some ...

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems.

An artificial-intelligence (AI) tool can rigorously prove whether geometric facts — statements about two-dimensional shapes such as triangles or polygons — are true, just as well as competitors in the ...

An AI from Google DeepMind can solve some International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) questions on geometry almost as well as the best human contestants. How does ChatGPT work and do AI-powered chatbots ...

A long-standing problem in discrete geometry involving how many pairs of points can be exactly one unit apart has been addressed using an artificial intelligence system developed by OpenAI, according ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...
