AI Achieves Silver Medal in Prestigious Math Competition
Google DeepMind's AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 solve complex problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad
- AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 tackled four out of six problems, earning a score of 28 out of 42.
- The AI systems were evaluated by renowned mathematicians, including Fields Medalist Prof. Sir Timothy Gowers.
- AlphaProof uses reinforcement learning to solve formal math problems, while AlphaGeometry 2 focuses on geometry.
- The achievement marks the first time an AI has reached the podium in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
- Despite the success, the AI took significantly longer than human competitors to solve some problems.
