The Ford-Johnson algorithm, discovered by Lester R. Ford Jr. and Selmer M. Johnson in 1959, is historically significant as it was the first algorithm to sort n elements with fewer than the information ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Abstract: A list of components can be arranged in a certain order using a sorting algorithm, which is a fundamental concept in computer science. The temporal complexity of the two fundamental and ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Machine learning, particularly the training of large foundation models, relies heavily on the diversity and quality of data. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, are the foundation of many ...

OpenAI’s latest generative AI model is much better at code generation than previous models, but slower and more expensive — and not quite ready for production. “Ho, hum,” I thought in response to the ...

The waste crisis is devastating our planet. A lot of the stuff we throw gets dumped in landfills. These massive waste disposal sites are often created by destroying forests or inhabitable lands. For ...
