A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows systems still fall short of top human expertise.

Overview: An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions that takes an input and produces a clear output, just like a ...

Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

New research suggests the fuzzy insects may be capable of spontaneously solving problems the way animals with much larger ...

With no training, bumblebees can work out how to use a ball like a ladder to feed on sugar from an out-of-reach flower.

Scientists observe bumblebees rolling a ball underneath a flower to get sugar, showing complex problem-solving abilities.

Abstract: Metaheuristic algorithms have demonstrated strong effectiveness in solving complex real-world optimization problems. This paper presents two discrete metaheuristic approaches for the ...

It started almost by accident. At my startup Dwelly, I constantly push the limits of what AI tools can actually do. One day I just typed into a chat: “Can you prove P ≠ NP?”—referring to the problem ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed they understood the limits of a famous geometry puzzle first posed by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. Now, an AI model developed by OpenAI ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

For decades, modernizing enterprise systems has been one of the most expensive and thankless jobs in technology. That calculus is starting to shift. Kabir Nagrecha grew up in the room where enterprise ...
