The Math Wizards of Cambridge Computer Lab: Uncovering the Mysteries of Category Theory!
Welcome back everyone! A few weeks ago, I had an incredible day at the Cambridge computer laboratory, where I met with Dr. Petar Veličković (DeepMind), Andrea Deec, a PhD student at Mila, and Dr. Andrew Dudzik (DeepMind). We explored the fascinating world of mathematical structures and their applications in various fields.
In this video, you'll get a tour of the Cambridge University Computing Lab, and a glimpse of our conversation about category theory, a branch of mathematics that focuses on abstract structures, their relationships, and transformations. They discussed lattices, groupoids, and how these structures can be interesting from a categorical perspective.
We also touched on the concept of categorification, which involves uplifting problems to higher categorical levels, emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem at hand before attempting to categorify it. Petar and Andrew shared their preference for working with algebra first to gain a deeper understanding of the problem before attempting to generalize and lift it to higher categorical levels.
So, buckle up and get ready to dive into the world of category theory and mathematical structures with our brilliant guests. And don't forget to check out our other videos from this day, we released the video with a leetcode challenge a few weeks ago.
We will release the main show with Petar, Andrew and Andrea on algorithmic reasoning and their interview in the coming weeks.
