IBM Patented Euler's 200 year old Math Technique
LeetArxiv is a successor to Papers With Code after the latter shutdown. Quick SummaryIBM owns the patent to the use of derivatives to find the convergents of a generalized continued fraction.Here’s the bizarre thing: all they did was implement a number theory technique by Gauss, Euler and Ramanujan in PyTorch and call backward() on the computation graph.Now IBM’s patent trolls can charge rent on a math technique that’s existed for over 200 years. As always, code is available on Google Colab and ...
