With AlphaTensor, DeepMind Technologies has presented an AI system that is supposed to independently find novel, efficient and provably correct algorithms for complex mathematical tasks. AlphaTensor ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

The matrix multiplication infix operator (*) produces a new matrix by performing matrix multiplication. The first matrix must have the same number of columns as the second matrix has rows. The new ...
