Machine learning, group theory and combinatorics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to investigate group theory and combinatorics using machine learning techniques. This project expects to generate new knowledge concerning symmetric groups and symmetric functions, using an innovative approach from reinforcement learning. Expected outcomes of this project include a clarification of the types of difficult problems in pure mathematics that can be gainfully attacked via machine learning, and an understanding of the role of group theory in machine learning. This should provide significant benefits, such as progress on long standing open problems, the development of an emerging technology with significant implications for mathematics, and the training of Australian scientists in a vital area of research.
