Project: Neural Networks Learn Arithmetic Operations

With the continuous stream of innovations in machine intelligence, neural networks achieve remarkable success on a spectrum of tasks. Nonetheless, can machines learn to think at an abstract level? Will neural networks master mathematical logic under supervised learning? In this project, my goal is to explore the optimal neural network model for learning arithmetic operations like addition, multiplication and sorting.

Although learning algorithms from examples is feasible in a number of ways—memory networks, LSTM networks, neural Turing machines, etc.—current models are either too complicated to be trained efficiently or too restricted to generalize.
