Throughout the last months we have been able to verify that everything related to the Artificial intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds. These platforms are intended to help us in all types of environments and modes of use, including those that focus on mathematical operations and calculation.
Lately we have been able to see first-hand the appearance of different online services that automatically generate texts as if it were a human. Likewise, we are seeing some platforms that are responsible for generating images from words, or helping us with the programming code in our own projects. There are also those that help us edit photos and videos, and even with our games. There are some proposals of this type that have achieved enormous popularity, as is the case with Dall-E either ChatGPT.
However, in these lines we are going to talk about an AI that surely many of us would have appreciated in our student days. And it is that it is a platform that will be of enormous help when carrying out mathematical operations and calculations. This is something that surely many of you, at least those who were not good at it, have feared for a long time in your student days, we are referring to the math.
A good part of these platforms that we are talking about now are focused on their capabilities of automatic content creation artistic or creative But it must be taken into consideration that everything related to mathematics requires more logic in order to be able to solve the problems and calculations that are presented to us here.
Minerva, Google’s AI to solve problems
Well, keep in mind that Google has its own Artificial Intelligence focused on solving mathematical problems. It has been with us for a while and is one of the many projects of the giant of searches in which he is working in this same direction. This AI was called Minerva and its raison d’être is the ability to solve mathematical and scientific problems using the aforementioned logic, all step by step.
This means that this Artificial Intelligence can be used in a multitude of platforms and programs focused on solving mathematical operations, both simple and complex. In addition, the AI itself explains the steps it is taking to solve these problems that we pose using logic and thanks to PaLM or Parthaways Language Model. Of course, as with many other types of uses related to Artificial Intelligence, there is still much to improve.
One of the most striking points offered by this AI called Minerva, is that we can pose mathematical problems in text form. In order to demonstrate the usefulness that this AI will have today in the coming years, Google has faced it with university-level mathematical problems and belonging to various branches of science.
As expected, some errors and bugs have still been detected, something that will be solved little by little so that Minerva can be a smart solution focused on math on multiple platforms later.
