A Dalhousie competitive programming team bested 24 other teams to win last month’s Atlantic Canadian Programming Competition. The team — called Dal Esperanza — only had two programmers to most other ...

While it is true that competitive programming increases problem-solving skills and other skills like analytical and critical abilities and logical thinking, it has almost little to no relation ...

Pole Przemyslaw "Psyho" Debiak won the prestigious AWTF Heuristic programming tournament. He beat not only the human ...

OpenAI may have something to say about that (and we can probably expect a riposte in its next paper on these lines), but as the researchers go on to point out, competitive programming problems ...

“Solving competitive programming problems is a really hard thing to do, requiring both good coding skills and problem solving creativity in humans,” he said.

The team fine-tuned the model using datasets of competitive programming problems scraped from Codeforces and similar datasets. The boost DeepMind gave AlphaCode was achieved by combining large ...

Although far from winning competitions, this result represents a substantial leap in AI problem-solving capabilities and we hope that our results will inspire the competitive programming community.

“Solving competitive programming problems is a really hard thing to do, requiring both good coding skills and problem solving creativity in humans,” explained Petr Mitrichev, a competitive ...

DeepMind has created an AI capable of writing code to solve arbitrary problems posed to it, as proven by participating in a coding challenge and placing — well, somewhere in the middle.
