This camper was able to pass the tests but their algorithm didn't perform a swap of the smallest element and the first unsorted element. def selection_sort(items ...

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 ...

High-dimensional data often contain noisy and redundant features, posing challenges for accurate and efficient feature selection. To address this, a dynamic multitask learning framework is proposed, ...

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 ...

Visual Studio Code includes built-in integration with GitHub Copilot and the ability to choose which AI model to use for code completions. But the latest Visual Studio Code version adds a new ...

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 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 ...

Software development has benefited greatly from using Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce high-quality source code, mainly because coding tasks now take less time and money to complete. However, ...

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, ...
