The new math intern: How AI can be a mathematician’s best assistant

Mathematics is hard, even for artificial intelligence (AI). So, when Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry2 achieved the impressive feat of solving 4 out of 6 problems at the International Math Olympiad (IMO), mathematicians began revisiting an old question: can AI do mathematical research? Terence Tao, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los […]

Connecting the dots: A look into applications of graph theory 

At first glance, graphs are collections of nodes, or vertices, connected by lines, or edges. Although visually simplistic, they are surprisingly useful as tools, especially in machine learning. As Frank Harary, a founder of The Journal of Graph Theory, once wrote, “It has become fashionable to mention that there are applications of graph theory to
