Automatic Identification of Mathematical Concepts

Abstract

The HR program by Colton et al.(1999) performs theory formation in mathematics by exploring a space of mathematical concepts. By enabling HR to determine when it has found a particular concept, and by adding a forward looking mechanism, we have applied HR to the problem of identifying mathematical concepts. We illustrate this by using HR to identify and extrapolate integer sequences and by performing a qualitative comparison with the machine learning program Progol.
