Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering, ...

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide range of different qubits, even in large numbers. Noise is the "ghost in ...

We developed two algorithms to identify patients with stomach, lung, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancers: diagnosis only (algorithm 1), and combining diagnosis, treatments, and medicines ...

Algorithms solve problems. But which algorithm is best suited to which problem? During his doctoral research, Diederick Vermetten developed methods to ...

The nearest neighbor problem asks where a new point fits into an existing data set. A few researchers set out to prove that there was no universal way to solve it. Instead, they found such a way. If ...

Computers are good at answering questions. What’s the shortest route from my house to Area 51? Is 8,675,309 a prime number? How many teaspoons in a tablespoon? For questions like these, they’ve got ...

In rock-paper-scissors, the ideal strategy is simple: You should play a random move each round, choosing all three ...
