AI system from DeepMind creates better versions of mathematical algorithms - Technology Org

The research team from DeepMind has recently published a paper where they introduce a new AI platform for improving mathematical algorithms. The new system is known under the name of AlphaTensor, which is an extension of AlphaZero to the discipline of mathematics. This tool takes classic fundamental algorithms as input and produces their improved versions. The team used a matrix multiplication algorithm as a basis for their study, where they analyzed a 50-year-old problem of finding the fastest way to multiply two matrices. Matrix multiplication may seem a very boring part of mathematics requiring lots of time spent multiplying and adding numbers.
