Using two newly developed types of reasoning tests, a team of researchers at UCL and UCLH has identified key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem-solving. The results will ...

Human infants are capable of deductive problem solving as early as 10 months of age, a new study by psychologists at Emory University and Bucknell finds. The journal Developmental Science is ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

OpenAI recently unveiled its latest artificial intelligence (AI) models, o1-preview and o1-mini (also referred to as “Strawberry”), claiming a significant leap in the reasoning capabilities of large ...

How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new ...

DeepMind, the Google AI R&D lab, believes that the key to more capable AI systems might lie in uncovering new ways to solve challenging geometry problems. To that end, DeepMind today unveiled ...

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new ...

The large language models popularized by chatbots are being taught to alternate reasoning with calls to external tools, such as Wikipedia, to boost their accuracy. The strategy could improve ...
