The authors' main claim For $g \ge 2$, we show that the number of positive integers at most $X$ which can be written as sum of two base $g$ palindromes is at most $\frac{X}{\log^c X}$.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.
