A system developed by Googleās DeepMind has set a new record for AI performance on geometry problems. DeepMindās AlphaGeometry managed to solve 25 of the 30 geometry problems drawn from the International Mathematical Olympiad between 2000 and 2022.That puts the software ahead of the vast majority of young mathematicians and just shy of IMO gold medalists. DeepMind estimates that the average gold medalist would have solved 26 out of 30 problems. Many view the IMO as the worldās most prestigious math competition for high school students.āBecause language models excel at identifying general patterns and relationships in data, they can quickly predict potentially useful constructs, but often lack the ability to reason rigorously or explain their decisions,ā DeepMind writes. To overcome this difficulty, DeepMind paired a language model with a more traditional symbolic deduction engine that performs algebraic and geometric reasoning.

i'm actually impressed by a computer being as good as the best 17-year-olds in the world at solving really complicated geometry questions on the fly! being as good as the best 20-year-old in the world at geometry doesn't seem far off. i don't know the world/age rankings of geometry pros but i assume that if you're one of the best 20 year olds you kinda made it as a pro and get endorsements

to be clear a computer can solve all geometry problems very easily what were talking about here is the ais ability to read the problem and hand it off to the program that solves the problem, the "more traditional symbolic deduction engine", probably rephrasing it along the way so the other program can understand it, i think its safe to assume the 17 year old nerds could do the reading and handing off part correctly 100% of the time, so googles framing of their success seems a lil dishonest here

i mean i dont know how to do that so i cant really say but i suspect in this case they used the more traditional symbolic deduction engine that performs algebraic and geometric reasoning for it
― lagān, Friday, 19 January 2024 05:04 (eight months ago) link
they used both, they started with normal symbolic stuff, and then if it got stuck it would ask the LLM and the LLM would say "try putting a midpoint here" and then the symbolic engine would try again. because LLMs are good at "this looks like these other problems", so it would have good guesses, but they're not so good at logic, so the two systems complement each other well.

It's astonishing that these things are being deployed in customer service in their current state
Parcel delivery firm DPD have replaced their customer service chat with an AI robot thing. Itās utterly useless at answering any queries, and when asked, it happily produced a poem about how terrible they are as a company.

It's totally how managers think. Anything to get cost out. They'll get a bonus for this change and then move on to another company by the time the thing blows up.

Though, I'm not sure this is any less useless than the pre-LLM customer service bots. At least this one is moderately entertaining

Been thinking more about AI lately and I'm inclined to take it more seriously now. We're not on the cusp of superintelligence.

One YourMove user in the UK who requested anonymity said that he initially thought it'd be interesting to use the service. He started feeding his Hinge matches' messages into YourMove, and the suggestions it churned out were better than he expected.
"I had specifically asked for a slightly heartfelt yet mildly humorous and it drafted an almost perfect sample to send," he said. "All I needed was to add an emoji here and there and specifics about the [woman's] name."
A male anonymous user of RIZZ echoed this sentiment. "I'm actually really good with in person conversations but just terrible with texting especially on dating apps," he said in the in-app survey. "It's especially difficult to come up with something witty to break the ice and stand out, but with RIZZ I'm getting a bunch of clever opening suggestions that help activate interesting conversations."

terence tao said he is already using chatgpt to help him when he's stuck on proofs. not writing full proofs but "generate suggestive hints and promising leads to a working mathematician and participate actively in the decision-making process." he expects in a couple years he'll be co-authoring with it:
"When integrated with tools such as formal proof verifiers, internet search, and symbolic math packages, I expect, say, 2026-level AI, when used properly, will be a trustworthy co-author in mathematical research, and in many other fields as well."

v behind on this thread, but anyone know any good writing on models for describing GenAI in terms of information theory/cybernetics? iām reading ruyer on cybernetics, mainly looking at the problem of the origin of information in cybernetic theory, and while my instinct is that genAI *can* be captured/described by cybernetic theory, i feel GenAI does require such a description or some additional work at the margin (ie it canāt be captured entirely by pre-existing thinking).
