Today, we present AlphaProof, a new reinforcement-learning based system for formal math reasoning, and AlphaGeometry 2, an improved version of our geometry-solving system. Together, these systems solved four out of six problems from this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), achieving the same level as a silver medalist in the competition for the first time.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new frontiers in science and technology.
The first sentence is completely irrelevant grifting. Red flag.
First, the problems were manually translated into formal mathematical language for our systems to understand… Our systems solved one problem within minutes and took up to three days to solve the others.
LMAO. If people translate the question into symbols, then ofc a computer can solve the problem in a few minutes.
If you translate your budget into a spreadsheet, then a computer can calculate your surplus or deficit in microseconds. But the actually hard part is making the spreadsheet.
AlphaProof solved two algebra problems and one number theory problem… two combinatorics problems remained unsolved.
So they got a 60%? That’s pretty good for a human but not so much for a purported “AI”.
I imagine it might not be difficult to develop classes of problems that are easy or hard/impossible for automated proof. Probably already exists but the grift don’t want to talk about limitations.
Hehe, namedropping “AGI” in the very first paragraph and then going ahead with an AI that is super tailored to a narrow task like formal math proofs and geometry…
It could be used in a mixture of experts type situation
I know there’s a strong anti AI sentiment on lemmy, but I would advise reading at least the article, if not more details before denouncing it
