The ERRWT model is based on the random walk, a mathematical model that describes the evolution of a system based on discretized steps. In this method, the next position of the walker depends only on ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...

A diagram showing that when decision makers quickly come to a conclusion, the decision is more influenced by their initial bias. If decision makers wait to gather more information, the slower decision ...

Western researchers have developed a novel technique using math to understand exactly how neural networks make decisions—a widely recognized but poorly understood process in the field of machine ...

If you’re a hacker you may well have a passing interest in math, and if you have an interest in math you might like to hear about the direction of mathematical research. In a talk on this topic [Kevin ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

A Google DeepMind researcher and OpenAI’s former CTO are posing questions about the validity of OpenAI’s claim about its gold-medal score. OpenAI’s latest model has achieved a gold-level score at the ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the ...
