NEWS 05 October 2022 DeepMind AI invents faster algorithms to solve tough maths puzzles Machine-learning technique improves computing efficiency and could have far-reaching applications.

For example, multiplying two 4×4 matrices together using a traditional schoolroom method would take 64 multiplications, while Strassen's algorithm can perform the same feat in 49 multiplications.

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...
