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 ...

With Deep Reinforcement Learning, DeepMind has discovered an algorithm no human thought of. It is supposed to significantly accelerate matrix multiplication.

DeepMind breaks 50-year math record using AI; new record falls a week later AlphaTensor discovers better algorithms for matrix math, inspiring another improvement from afar.
