Andrew MayneHOST
Could you break down though, aside from somebody who's interested in developing new fields of mathematics or just making new proofs, it's-- what does this affect everything else? What is the impact of this going to be on science? What is the impact of, of the rest of what you're working on? Why is this really important and not just, "Oh, cool, it does math"?
Sébastien BubeckGUEST
So I think the, "Oh, cool, it does math" part, what did matter as we were developing those models as a good way to benchmark the progress.
Sébastien BubeckGUEST
The nice thing about mathematics is that the question are very clear, non-ambiguous.
Sébastien BubeckGUEST
So once a model can give an answer, everybody will agree was it correct or was it not correct.
