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 ...

But now, two mathematician friends have used their quarantine time to crack a variation of the age-old geometry problem. They analyzed a set of loopy shapes called smooth, continuous curves to prove ...

Don't show this to your kids—Google Search and Lens can now solve advanced trigonometry, calculus, geometry, physics, and other science problems. Thanks to improved Search smarts, solving and ...

Google researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) math system that can out-smart gold medalists in international geometry competitions. The system, called "AlphaGeometry2" (AG2), is an ...
