Over the past few decades, the mathematical community has accumulated a significant amount of pure mathematical data, which has been analyzed through supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised machine learning techniques with remarkable results, e.g., artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and principal component analysis. Therefore, we consider as disruptive the use of machine learning algorithms to study mathematical structures, enabling the formulation of conjectures via numerical algorithms. In this paper, we review the latest applications of machine learning in the field of geometry. Artificial intelligence can help in mathematical problem solving, and we predict a blossoming of machine learning applications during the next years in the field of geometry. As a contribution, we propose a new method for extracting geometric information from the point cloud and reconstruct a 2D or a 3D model, based on the novel concept of generalized asymptotes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
