We made our own version of the Codebreaker sign-cracking algorithm — and talked to pitchers about how to thwart it.

The Data Science Lab Simple Numerical Optimization Using an Evolutionary Algorithm with C# Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, ...

Serial-data links embed clocks in their data streams, and those clocks must be recovered at the receiver end. This Design Idea describes a data/clock-recovery algorithm for an NRZ (non-return-to-zero) ...

Most elegant: The Perceptron algorithm. Developed back in the 50s by Rosenblatt and colleagues, this extremely simple algorithm can be viewed as the foundation for some of the most successful ...

Artists have begun searching the space of simple computer programs for algorithms that generate music. Now they want to crowdsource the problem ...
