Alternate title: AI (a man-made concept) is discovering patterns in another man-made concept.
What do you imply.
AI is discovering patterns in pure mathematics that have never been seen before

#12I find that an often under-appreciated perspective around big networks is the information-theoretical one, or at the risk of oversimplifying: the compression one. (The deep relationships between learning theory and information theory are of course well-known to researchers and sophisticated practitioners, but IMHO don’t get enough airtime).
When you think about training a (not terribly overfit) model as a crop in the Fourier domain, a lot of these results are fairly natural to intuit about, which of course takes nothing away from how cool they are! :)

I would disagree with the idea that maths is man-made. It is discovered. If it were man made, then we should have power to change it as we wish.
But you could still say: A mathematical structure is analysing mathematics.

#16I don't normally complain about this, but that result has been at least four times on the front page in the last two weeks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29514642 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29424749 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29405380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29208141 Finding mathematical patterns and relations by fitting expressive functions has actually been a common technique…
Not only has it been on the front page a bunch; each time it’s posted, it’s further and further through the game of telephone from science to pop journalism, and less and less accurate.

#17Sounds like Max Cohen at work, doesn't it?

I haven’t seen it yet so it’s alright for me.

Thanks for this interesting and readable paper!
