Last November, Coudron and two colleagues took a big step toward resolving that long-standing problem: They proved that no algorithm in a broad and natural class of fast quantum algorithms can find a ...

Microsoft's Space Partition Tree and Graph algorithm enables developers to apply vector search to traditional, audio and visual queries.

A spanning tree of a graph is a tree that touches all of the graph's nodes but dispenses with the edges that create loops. Efficient algorithms for constructing spanning trees are well established.

Refining with colors Mathematicians have developed various strategies to compare graphs. Since the 1970s, algorithms have been able to test graph isomorphism, but in exponential time.

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory.

With Klout-like talent scores and Pandora-like recommendations for the job world, LinkedIn's magical algorithm is combing copious amounts of data to help employers discover top talent.

Getting ready for coding interviews can feel like a big challenge, but with the right plan and practice, you can definitely ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery.
