As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

The k-generalized Fibonacci numbers are defined as in [1]. A polyphase merge (merging an equal number of sequences from k tapes onto a single unused tape) using k+1 tapes is defined in terms of linear ...

This repository implements Parallel Merge Sort using multithreading to speed up the sorting process. By dividing the array into smaller subarrays and sorting them concurrently, the algorithm leverages ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

This week I interviewed Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, about her Preventing Algorithmic Collusion Act. If you don’t know what algorithmic collusion is, it’s time to get educated, ...

In the era of vast data, information retrieval is crucial for search engines, recommender systems, and any application that needs to find documents based on their content. The process involves three ...
