The team had translated the problem of finding useful algorithms for matrix multiplication into a single-player game. In the game, the "board" is a three-dimensional tensor (number range) that ...

In 1969, a German mathematician named Volker Strassen discovered the previous-best algorithm for multiplying 4×4 matrices, which reduces the number of steps necessary to perform a matrix calculation.

Can artificial intelligence (AI) create its own algorithms to speed up matrix multiplication, one of machine learning’s most fundamental tasks? Today, in a paper published in Nature, DeepMind ...

We explored how modern artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques could advance the discovery of matrix multiplication algorithms. The discovery. Strassen’s work showed that matrix-multiplication ...

DeepMind has used its board-game playing AI AlphaZero to discover a faster way to solve a fundamental math problem in computer science, beating a record that has stood for more than 50 years.
