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 ...

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 ...

Over the past year, machine learning and artificial intelligence technology have made significant strides. Specialized algorithms, including OpenAI's DALL-E, have demonstrated the ability to generate ...

We propose a new resolution algorithm, called resolution branch and bound (RBB), where a branch-and-bound scheme is empowered by exploiting the information contained in a family of closed subproblems, ...

This paper investigates the maximum flaw length distribution which statistically describes the longest flaw occurring in a given material part. The number of flaws in each part is assumed to follow a ...

Does YouTube create extremists? A recent study caused arguments among scientists by arguing that the algorithms that power the site don’t help radicalize people by recommending ever more extreme ...
