New AI System Solves Complex Math Olympiad Problems, But Experts Say Creative Reasoning Still Lags
-
New AI system AlphaGeometry can solve geometry problems from the International Math Olympiad (IMO), a benchmark for math excellence.
-
AlphaGeometry combines symbolic AI and neural networks to attempt creative math problem solving.
-
Experts say math AI struggles to create new concepts and higher-level math still challenges systems like AlphaGeometry.
-
The team chose geometry because it's visually intuitive and has few existing computer-friendly training examples.
-
Developing AI that can deeply reason through complex math could bring researchers closer to artificial general intelligence.
