As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

The use of programmed digital computers as general pattern classification and recognition devices is one phase of the current lively interest in artificial intelligence. It is important to choose a ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

Are quantum computers worth the billions that are being invested in them? The answer is probably many years away. However, the machines could prove to be particularly suited to solving problems in ...

This presents a set-based topological sorting algorithm for directed acyclic graphs (DAG). Unlike traditional algorithms that produce a linear order of nodes, it yields a linear sequence of sets of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...
