🚀@SBERLOGASCI webinar on mathematics and data science: 👨🔬 Sergei Gukov "What makes math problems hard for reinforcement learning: a case study" ⌚️ 19 September, Thursday 19.00 Moscow time
Can AI solve hard and interesting research-level math problems? While there is no mathematical definition of what makes a mathematical problem hard or interesting, we can provisionally define such problems as those that are well known to an average professional mathematician and have remained open for N years. The larger the value of N, the harder the problem. Using examples from combinatorial group theory and low-dimensional topology, in this talk I will explain that solving such hard long-standing math problems holds enormous potential for AI algorithm development, providing a natural path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
О докладчике: Сергей Гуков - профессор КалТех, выпускник МФТИ и Принстона, один из наиболее известных специалистов по теории струн и математической физике, в последние годы занимающийся применением методов Reinforcement Leaning к задачам математики и физики.

Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Crude oil prices edged higher after tumbling on Thursday, when U.S. West Texas intermediate slid back below $110 per barrel after topping as much as $130 a barrel in recent sessions. Still, gas prices at the pump rose to fresh highs. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
