Facebook neural nets solve differential equations
IF UNIVERSITY students could obtain a copy of Facebook’s latest neural network – a series of algorithms that resemble the human brain – they could cheat all the way through Calculus 300. At the least, they could solve the following differential equation in under one second:
It may not replace Wolfram Alpha anytime soon, but Facebook’s neural net is the first to solve complex calculus problems. It’s a considerable leap forward in computers’ abilities to understand maths logic.
