| Sep 26 at 5:18 | comment | added | Alec Rhea | Mine was asking for research problems having to do with elliptic curves and combinatorics; I asked for a followup email out of curiosity and was sent a pdf with specifics, I’ll see if I can dig it up tomorrow and upload a pdf. | |
| Sep 26 at 1:45 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | Given that the email asked for "hard problems", but when you dig into the deal, it's specifically "IMO-style problems", I think it's about trying to get a clean testing set that isn't in the training data, and for which the solutions aren't also in the training data. The kind of "hard problems" I could give them are almost surely not answerable by an AI program at present. And I didn't fit their criteria for the type of person they were interested in for the more substantial internal role doing the same thing: an IMO problem setter or medal winner. | |
