Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

Researchers have combined the Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford algorithms to develop an even faster way to find the shortest paths ...

The new version of AlphaZero discovered a faster way to do matrix multiplication, a core problem in computing that affects thousands of everyday computer tasks. DeepMind has used its board-game ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Artificial intelligence learned how to generate text and art better than ever before, while computer scientists developed algorithms that solved long-standing problems. In 2023, artificial ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Rahul focuses on the impact of autonomy on society. “God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein is reported to ...
