A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

Networks are systems comprised of two or more connected devices, biological organisms or other components, which typically ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Circle detection algorithms form a fundamental pillar in computer vision, enabling the identification of circular features across a wide range of applications from automated industrial inspection to ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

The exponential growth in computer processing power seen over the past 60 years may soon come to a halt. Complex systems such as those used in weather forecast, for example, require high computing ...

Children naturally discover computer sorting algorithms through play, without any instruction, study finds surprisingly.

After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his ...

Across the United States and Europe, software is making probation decisions and predicting whether teens will commit crime. Opponents want more human oversight. Darnell Gates, on probation in ...
