A reinforcement learning algorithm called Grammar Reinforcement Learning (GRL) combines Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with a transformer architecture that models a Pushdown Automaton (PDA) within a context-free grammar (CFG) framework. GRL addresses the problem of efficiently counting paths and cycles in graphs, which is crucial for network analysis, computer science, biology, and social sciences. The algorithm discovers novel matrix-based formulas for path/cycle counting that improve computational efficiency by factors of two to six compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

GRL uses a special kind of learning called reinforcement learning. It helps us count paths and cycles in graphs more efficiently. Graphs are like maps, but instead of roads, they have lines and shapes. We use computers to analyze these graphs, and GRL makes it faster. It does this by finding new formulas that work better than old ones.
