A group of computer gamers are making habit of outshining scientists at their own game. Most of them have no scientific background, but they have a track record of cracking tough scientific puzzles, ...

Almost weekly a friend or an acquaintance asks me, “I want to learn to code; which language should I start with?” More or less bi-weekly I get a DM on LinkedIn starting with, “My son should start ...

Primal methods constitute a common approach to solving (combinatorial) optimization problems. Starting from a given feasible solution, they successively produce new feasible solutions with ...

A simplified form of an algorithm for solving mixed integer linear programmes is presented. It is introduced by considering the geometry of the problem, from which most of the terminology originates.

Researchers have developed an algorithm that enhances the ability of a quantum computer to more efficiently find the best solution for complicated problems. Tohoku University researchers have ...

A discovery about how algorithms can learn and retain information more efficiently offers potential insight into the brain's ability to absorb new knowledge. The findings could aid in combating ...

The Δ-Motif algorithm leverages open-source libraries such as Pandas and Numpy, and achieves parallel processing on GPUs through NVIDIA's RAPIDS. According to benchmark tests, the algorithm's speed is ...

We have met our match at the genteel pastime of jigsaw puzzles. It seems an algorithm can now whiz through 10,000 pieces in 24 hours. The speedy solver could also help piece together shredded ...
