Machine learning discovers invariants of braids and flat braids
Alexei Lisitsa, Mateo Salles, Alexei Vernitski
We use machine learning to classify examples of braids (or flat braids) as trivial or non-trivial. Our ML takes form of supervised learning using neural networks (multilayer percep…

An application of neural networks to a problem in knot theory and group theory (untangling braids)
Alexei Lisitsa, Mateo Salles, Alexei Vernitski
We report on our success on solving the problem of untangling braids up to length 20 and width 4. We use feed-forward neural networks in the framework of reinforcement learning to…
