Known as sorting algorithms, they are one of the workhorses ... Rather than tweaking current algorithms, AlphaDev starts from scratch. It uses assembly code, which is the intermediate computer ...

The researchers first applied AlphaDev to the task of sorting numbers by size. They started small, with algorithms that sorted ... then starts a new program from scratch.

The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...
