The system has two especially novel features. First, the neural net is trained only on algorithmically generated data — a whopping 100 million geometric proofs — using no human examples.
A 100-page proof is way outside the realm of the average math student, or even mathematician. But there’s no reason the proof need only be laid out the old-fashioned way anymore.
