Proof assistants like Lean have transformed mathematical proof verification, ensuring precise results. However, the advancement of large language models (LLMs) in formal theorem proving is limited by insufficient training data. To tackle this, a new approach generates a vast amount of Lean 4 proof data from high-school and undergraduate math competition problems. By translating natural […]

AM radio broadcast uses amplitude modulation, where changes in the carrier wave’s amplitude carry the signal. FM radio broadcast, invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong, uses frequency modulation, where changes in the frequency of the carrier wave carry the signal. Armstrong’s prediction that FM would be less affected by noise was proven correct, as noise tends […]

BDRC’s mission includes making Tibetan a digital language, achieved with LibreOffice supporting long Tibetan paragraphs. Since Buddhism’s eighth-century introduction, Tibetans have embraced innovation. In the 14th Century, woodblock printing mass-produced Tibetan texts. Recent technological advances include Tibetan computer […]
Summary: Khoury explores counterintuitive properties of high dimensional space, such as spheres within cubes. As dimensions increase, inner spheres start poking outside, with volume decreasing to nearly nothing after dimension six. The band width needed to capture surface area around the equator decreases in higher dimensions. The kissing number of circles touching a central circle […]
