A DeepMind collaboration used machine-learning methods to guide the discovery and proof of a relationship between the natural slope of a knot
and its signature (Davies et al. 2021).
Knot signatures are implemented in the Wolfram Language as KnotData[knot,
"Signature"]. The following table summarizes knot signatures for
knots on 10 of fewer crossings.
