Researchers have created a new system that automatically produces code optimized for sparse data. We live in the age of big data, but most of that data is "sparse." Imagine, for instance, a massive ...

Random matrices are used for the statistical analysis of large samples but find also application in various fields of physics. In particular they became of interest around 1990 in string theory as a ...

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 ...

Tensors play a pivotal role in AI and deep learning systems, and share a common heritage with both physics and advanced mathematics. All of which makes it extremely difficult to lock down a definitive ...

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.
