  1. Who cares about Euclidean geometry? Miroslav Olšák

  2. Euclidean geometry ● Points, lines and circles in the plane ● Nice but… – Without applications – Algorithmically decidable

  3. AITP ● Automated theorem proving ● Machine learning

  4. Me

  5. ! s w e n g n k i a e r B A computer program exceeded world best mathematicians

  6. Mathematics ● Abstraction ● Reasoning ● Problem solving

  7. Abstraction A conceptual process where general rules and concepts are derived from the usage and classification of specific examples, literal ("real" or "concrete") signifiers, first principles, or other methods. (Wikipedia)

  8. Abstraction – Logician’s approach ● Replacing constants with variables ● Construction of lambda function (HOL) ● ...

  9. Machine learning approach These are dogs c g i a m L M Now I have an idea what a "dog" means

  10. Elementary school ● Arithmetic ● Word problems ● Euclidean geometry – One abstraction level – Teaches reasoning

  11. Problem solving – benchmark

  12. International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) ● Prestigious competition for high school students ● 4 “domains” – Algebra – Number theory – Combinatorics – Euclidean geometry ● National rounds – Plenty of problems of various difficulty ● Thousands for geometry

  13. One more point ● People at IMO are really clever

  14. One more point ● People at IMO are really clever ● The plan 1) Solve geometry 2) Get AI generated problems to competitions 3) Get attention of talented people 4) Invite them into a project of solving entire IMO Let's solve the problem solving

  15. Euclidean geometry ● Problems from elementary school to IMO ● Relatively simple → suitable for experiments ● Concrete → suitable for image processing ● We can attract IMO people ● Without applications? – Not the ultimate goal ● Algorithmically decidable? – Ignorable

  16. Suggestions ● Data collection – Prasolov, Chan, 106, 107, AOPS, … – ... ● Reinforcement learning – Guide by image / structure – Problems to prove – Constructional problems – ... ● ...
