Illuminating new and known relations between knot invariants

We automate the process of machine learning correlations between knot invariants. For nearly 200 000 distinct sets of input knot invariants together with an output invariant, we attempt to learn the output invariant by training a neural network on the input invariants. Correlation between invariants is measured by the accuracy of the neural network prediction, and bipartite or tripartite correlations are sequentially filtered from the input invariant sets so that experiments with larger input sets are checking for true multipartite correlation. We rediscover several known relationships between polynomial, homological, and hyperbolic knot invariants, while also finding novel correlations which are not explained by known results in knot theory. These unexplained correlations strengthen previous observations concerning links between Khovanov and knot Floer homology. Our results also point to a new connection between quantum algebraic and hyperbolic invariants, similar to the generalized volume conjecture.
