So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms. Maybe the ...

Computer scientists have invented a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones. Computer scientists have invented a ...

Algorithms are shortcuts people use to tell computers what to do. If you’re thinking “that sounds a lot like computer code,” you’re absolutely correct. No, really: it’s that simple.

Simple algorithms have been used for computer-based decision making for decades. Today, algorithms help ease otherwise-complicated processes all the time, whether we know it or not. When you ...

“We want to give them a simple interface to define undesirable behavior for their application and then ensure that the algorithm will avoid that behavior with high probability.” So the ...

Melanie Mitchell, Davis professor of complexity at the Santa Fe Institute, offered a simple explanation of a computer algorithm. “An algorithm is a set of steps for solving a problem or ...

In 2015, the computer scientist and mathematician László Babai made a breakthrough by proposing an algorithm that runs ...

At EPFL, a team from the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV), under the direction of Professor Martin Vetterli, has developed a computer algorithm ... a 3D map of a simple, convex room ...

They proved that one of two things must be true: Either all problems that can be efficiently solved using randomness also have fast deterministic algorithms, or many notoriously difficult problems are ...
