For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

Most computer scientists believe that there is no algorithm that can efficiently find the best solutions for all possible combinations of cities.

The time when currently encrypted data can be decrypted using quantum technology is closer than many people think. However, ...

Local authorities use so-called predictive algorithms to set police patrols, prison sentences and probation rules. In the Netherlands, an algorithm flagged welfare fraud risks.

An algorithm used to inform healthcare decisions for millions of people shows significant racial bias in its predictions of the health risks of black patients.

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

The trained algorithm could distinguish cases where transformations were time-reversal symmetric, something that appears to be very difficult or impossible with the classical system.

A federal court in DC has ruled in a lawsuit against Attorney General William Barr that studies aimed at detecting discrimination in online algorithms don't violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
