Automated conjecturing in mathematics with \emph{TxGraffiti}

Abstract: \emph{TxGraffiti} is a data-driven, heuristic-based computer program developed to automate the process of generating conjectures across various mathematical domains. Since its creation in 2017, \emph{TxGraffiti} has contributed to numerous mathematical publications, particularly in graph theory. In this paper, we present the design and core principles of \emph{TxGraffiti}, including its roots in the original \emph{Graffiti} program, which pioneered the automation of mathematical conjecturing. We describe the data collection process, the generation of plausible conjectures, and methods such as the \emph{Dalmatian} heuristic for filtering out redundant or transitive conjectures. Additionally, we highlight its contributions to the mathematical literature and introduce a new web-based interface that allows users to explore conjectures interactively. While we focus on graph theory, the techniques demonstrated extend to other areas of mathematics.
