A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

Several computer science majors have fellowships this summer through Bowdoin to devote themselves to finding solutions to real-world problems. They're devising programs and algorithms to automatically ...

Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, allows a computer to teach itself how to solve problems by analyzing large sets of data.

Earlier this year, while putting together a video about the world’s fastest solvers of the Rubik’s Cube, I decided to devote some time to learning to solve the classic puzzle myself. Tyson Mao, a ...

We’ve mastered the Rubik’s Cube. By we, though, I don’t necessarily mean that you and I have figured out how to solve the classic puzzle, but other members of humanity have certainly shown the Cube ...

Irvine, Calif., July 6, 2022 — 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 ...

The new quantum computing algorithm, called "Quantum Echoes," is the first that can be independently verified by running it ...

Daniel Lokshtanov’s work explores the limits of what computers can solve, paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence and computational efficiency.

Scientists say using math to sort through DNA could help investigators put stubborn cold cases to rest. The approach combines the relatively new field of forensic genetic genealogy—solving crime by ...
