# Math Equation-Solving AI Systems Facebook Developed an AI to Process Complex Math Equations By Daniel Johnson | Published 2020-01-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complex-math-equations1 References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/14/facebook-taught-its-ai-to-speak-math/) & [about.fb](https://about.fb.com/company-info/) [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-content-identification) developed an AI system that has the ability to [solve complex math equations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openai-o1). The system is able to do this by viewing complex math equations as a form of language, and from there the AI deals with a problem in a similar way to the translation process between languages. The company also made a statement about the training process for the AI system, "By training a model to detect patterns in symbolic equations, we believed that a neural network could piece together the clues that led to their solutions, roughly similar to a human's intuition-based approach to complex problems." Additionally, Facebook's AI was so successful that it worked 99.7% of the time when working on integration problems. Overall Facebook's system shows potential applications for [AI technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-learning-system).
