One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

In a paper published today in the science journal Nature, DeepMind asserts that AlphaDev’s newly discovered algorithm achieves a 70% increase in efficiency for sorting short sequences of ...

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology ...

Mathematicians have long sought to develop algorithms that can compare any two graphs. In practice, many algorithms always seem to work efficiently. But in theory, there is no guarantee ...

Dr. Steve Bellovin is professor of computer science at Columbia University, where he researches "networks, security, and why the two don't get along." He is the author of Thinking Security and the ...

Computer programmers have developed a new 'cutting-plane' algorithm, a general-purpose algorithm for solving optimization problems. The algorithm improves on the running time of its most efficient ...

Kyng's doctoral supervisor, Daniel A. Spielman, Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Yale and himself a pioneer and doyen in this field, compared the "absurdly fast" algorithm ...

When computer science was first taught in some American and European schools in the 1970s, generally as an optional subject for older pupils, computers did little unless given instructions in a ...

These problems, the authors show, can be solved on a quantum computer in what's called polynomial time, where the number of qubits is raised to a constant power (denoted n k).Using classical ...

Saket Navlakha is a computer scientist at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he studies algorithms in nature. Algorithms and species extinction have more in common than you'd think.
