Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...

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 ...

An algorithm used trillions of times a day around the world could run up to 70 per cent faster, thanks to an artificial intelligence created by UK-based firm DeepMind. It has found an improved way for ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...
