CMSA Q&A Seminar
Title: Discussion on OpenAI Math Papers
Abstract: You have likely seen that OpenAI released 722 math papers. For the Q&A meeting on Wednesday October 14, we would like to gather to discuss them and hear informal, short presentations (say 10 minutes maximum) from anyone who is engaging with at least one of the papers released by OpenAI. If any of the papers cover a subject you care about and you can take look at it, we would particularly like to hear your thoughts on:
- Is the mathematics correct?
- Are there truly new or creative ideas?
- Is there adequate and accurate citation of previous work?
- What is the quality of the exposition?
We hope to have lots of back-and-forth between the presenters and the audience.
If you know of an OpenAI paper that you would like to say a few words about, please let us know. It would be great to have a list of people who would like to speak. We hope to see everyone there.
