Graph-based multi-modality integration for prediction of cancer subtype and severity

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-46392-6

This isn't using any frontier pure math graph theory results, or anything like the kinds of papers that OpenAI is producing.

The math in the linked article is understandable by any undergrad in Maths. Hell, I can follow the maths in that paper, so it's nowhere near like the sort of abstruse stuff in the OpenAI maths papers.

And again, if you look at some of the problems in those papers, it's clear they have no practical use to make our world better.

I.e. proving that this problem which we thought would make 1 million years to solve, actually has an upper bound of 999'999 years of time. Ok, cool, very interesting, but actually has zero practical impact on our world.
