An 'essentially unbeatable' algorithm for the popular card game points to strategies for solving real-life problems without having complete information. A new computer algorithm can play one of the ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

For the first time, a deep-learning algorithm has taught itself an efficient way to solve a Rubik’s cube. A Rubik’s cube has over 43 quintillion possible combinations — but only 1 solution, which is ...

Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of algorithmic number theory, on which the security of many cryptographic ...

The reputation of UK government technology projects - and by extension that of the government itself - has been hard hit lately, not least due to last week's A-level exam results disaster. Firstly, ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

In late 90’s as the number of webpages on the internet was growing exponentially different search engines were trying different approaches to rank the webpages. At Stanford, two computer science Ph.D.

Lucas Downey is the co-founder of MoneyFlows, and an Investopedia Academy instructor. Somer G. Anderson is CPA, doctor of accounting, and an accounting and finance professor who has been working in ...
