Ramanujan Machine – AI powered “mathematician” who can discover hidden patterns in numbers

A new artificially intelligent "mathematician" known as the Ramanujan Machine can potentially reveal hidden relationships between numbers. The Ramanujan Machine is a novel way to do mathematics by harnessing the power of a standard computer to make new discoveries. The Ramanujan Machine has already discovered dozens of new conjectures. The Ramanujan Machine consists of algorithms that seek out conjectures, or mathematical conclusions that are likely true but have not been proved. Conjectures are the starting points of mathematical theorems, which are conclusions that have been proved by a series of equations. The set of algorithms is named after Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa wanted to see if they coul...
