Distantly related question. It was claimed that Alpha Zero taught itself to play incredibly high level chess from the very basic point of playing with itself millions of times after having been fed the basic building block rules of chess and nothing else.
Now I'm wondering if something like this can be made to work for discovering new mathematical relationships or solving existing hypothesis by training a neural network with what we know of maths so far and then letting it "play" with the equations?

Am I being too naive here?
