Description
Summary:Mathematics Machine-learning tools have been used to assist the part of mathematical research that usually relies on human intuition and creativity - leading to two fundamental results in different areas of mathematics. The real advance was demonstrated when the authors successfully applied their approach to two separate areas of mathematics.
