We will walk through several combinatorial results. Half of them have important motivation coming from computer science and the other half explain surprising observations made by experimentation. We will begin by a high-level discussion on how one shall pick or pose his problems, and end by sharing more about an exciting machine learning technique that may change the way we approach combinatorial (and mathematical) problems in general. Some exciting open questions will also be mentioned.
