Something to Look At
Stephen Ornes in Quanta Magazine today —
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
Symbolic Mathematics Finally Yields to Neural Networks
“Another possible direction for the neural net to explore
is the development of automated theorem generators.

use AI to generate new theorems and proofs, though

a distinguished expert in the field of artificial intelligence,

From that paper —
“… the conceptual foundation for the field
continues to be primitive.”
