It will take time for his new paper to be thoroughly vetted ... problem to have a quasi-polynomial algorithm but no polynomial algorithm. “It would show that the landscape of complexity theory is much ...

which are algorithms that can solve problems in a time that is a polynomial function of the size of the input. Recent research has explored various aspects of complexity theory, including ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the ...

Up until now, algorithms have been deployed with relatively little oversight. It may be time for that to change. Algorithms — complex equations that are used to make decisions — are becoming ...
