Not in favor of the headline. The deepmind blog clearly states "Our results suggest that ML can complement maths research to guide intuition about a problem by detecting the existence of hypothesised patterns with supervised learning and giving insight into these patterns with attribution techniques from machine learning"

The submitted headline was "Podcast: Google's 'DeepMind' Does Mathematics" because the submitted URL was https://www.numberphile.com/videos/deep-mind-podcast.

Since the title of the article we changed it to is vague and baity, I replaced it with a representative sentence from the article body, i.e. where Williamson describes the purpose of the research.

Can anyone elaborate on what these attribution techniques might be? My understanding is that explainability is a bit of a holy grail for DNN research - are reliable techniques starting to emerge?
