Attlee Room
Join us for an enlightening lecture by Professor Yang-Hui He, a distinguished mathematician and expert on Topology at City University of London and lecturer at Merton College, University of Oxford.
Renowned for his ability to communicate complex ideas with passion and clarity, Professor He will take us on a fascinating journey into the intersection of artificial intelligence and mathematics.
In this thought-provoking talk, Professor He will explore how AI is transforming the landscape of mathematical research and discovery. He will argue that AI can assist mathematics in three pivotal ways: theorem-proving, conjecture formulation and language processing.
Drawing from his initial experiments in geometry and string theory initiated in 2017, Professor He will showcase the rapid growth of this emerging field over recent years, and show how various machine-learning algorithms are revolutionizing pattern detection across diverse mathematical disciplines, including algebraic geometry, representation theory, combinatorics and number theory.
At the heart of this lecture lies a profound question: How does AI contribute to theoretical discovery, and what are the implications for the future of mathematics?
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the cutting edge of mathematical research with one of the field’s most engaging and innovative thinkers. Professor Yang-Hui He’s lecture promises to challenge our understanding of AI’s role in advancing human knowledge and spark new ideas about the future of mathematical discovery.
