Inspired by how our brains function, the AI algorithms referred to in the paper are known as spiking neural networks. A ...

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 ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one of the most famous, long-standing problems in theoretical computer science. Even ...

Hackers are exploiting a new, undocumented vulnerability in the implementation of the cryptographic algorithm present in ...

A rare 175 year-old book containing the world's first computer algorithm by Ada Lovelace – mathematician and daughter of Lord Byron – has been sold at auction in England for £95,000 (US$125,000). Only ...

Recently, a grading fiasco in the United Kingdom left 40% of students with a worse grade than they had anticipated receiving, sparking outrage and even legal action. However, it was not the teacher ...
