Algorithms are the fundamental procedures that guide computers in solving problems, from simple calculations to complex data analysis. At their core, an algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions ...

When a commercial quantum computer will surpass classical machines for real-world optimization is unknown, but probabilistic ...

A peer-reviewed paper about Chinese startup DeepSeek's models explains their training approach but not how they work through ...

Almost weekly a friend or an acquaintance asks me, “I want to learn to code; which language should I start with?” More or less bi-weekly I get a DM on LinkedIn starting with, “My son should start ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

Computer scientists often encounter problems relevant to real-life scenarios. For instance, "multiagent problems," a category characterized by multi-stage decision-making by multiple decision makers ...

Several computer science majors have fellowships this summer through Bowdoin to devote themselves to finding solutions to real-world problems. They're devising programs and algorithms to automatically ...
