Some thought on AlphaTensor
Published:
Recently, there is a heated attention on newly released paper AlphaTensor from DeepMind. The claim in the Abstract seems to imply that there is a great advancement for a 50 year old problem that Strassen’s algorithm was trying to address. This is really an intriguing claim, thus I spared myself some time trying to fully understand to what extent these claims are true, and how the algorithm they use looks like for such achievements.
