Jory Denny is a member of two professional societies: the Association of Computing Machinery and IEEE. He is associated with Waymo LLC. The world of computing is full of buzzwords: AI, supercomputers, ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying 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 ...

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

Scientists from the University of Virginia School of Medicine have built an algorithm that may shed crucial light on genetic diseases, as well as help physicians and medical experts to rapidly ...

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 ...

Quantum computers promise to speed calculations dramatically in some key areas such as computational chemistry and high-speed networking. But they're so different from today's computers that ...

Mathematicians have proven the existence of a faster algorithm for multiplying large numbers, making multiplication and other ...
