A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Andréa Morris reports on emergent intelligence in diverse systems. As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one ...

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

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. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

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 ...

An algorithm used trillions of times a day around the world could run up to 70 per cent faster, thanks to an artificial intelligence created by UK-based firm DeepMind. It has found an improved way for ...
