machine learning artificial intelligence AI optimization Structures

In this talk, we illustrate mathematical research developing methodologies that combine optimization, machine learning, and mathematical structure to navigate large, complex, and highly constrained search spaces with a focus on the Hadwiger–Nelson problem: a long-standing open problem in discrete geometry and extremal combinatorics concerning colorings of the plane without monochromatic unit-distance pairs.
