According to a report by IT House on January 18, Google's DeepMind recently published a paper in Nature, demonstrating the latest AI system AlphaGeometry, which is comparable to the world's top students in solving mathematical geometry problems. AlphaGeometry is a neural symbol system that combines language learning and deductive reasoning. The system combines the predictive power of a neural language model with a rule-based deductive engine to find a solution. In the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) for high school students, AlphaGeometry answered 25 out of 30 questions correctly, with a correct rate of 83%. For comparison, the average human gold medalist answered 25.9 questions correctly, compared to the previous best record of an AI model successfully answering 10 geometry questions. This result is very close to the gold standard for human entrants, and Deepmind believes it highlights the growing capabilities of AI in mathematics. Deepmind researcher Quoc V Le, who worked on the project, told the Financial Times that the new system is a key step towards building artificial general intelligence (AGI).
