Can artificial intelligence (AI) create its own algorithms to speed up matrix multiplication, one of machine learning’s most fundamental tasks? Today, in a paper published in Nature, DeepMind ...

By transforming operands into a Montgomery domain, these algorithms enable efficient modular multiplication and exponentiation, which are crucial for public-key cryptosystems.

DeepMind breaks 50-year math record using AI; new record falls a week later AlphaTensor discovers better algorithms for matrix math, inspiring another improvement from afar.

With Deep Reinforcement Learning, DeepMind has discovered an algorithm no human thought of. It is supposed to significantly accelerate matrix multiplication.
