With the emergence of new COVID-19 variants, and infections continuing to rise, effective diagnostic software systems are urgently required to support the increasingly overstretched virus testing ...

Advanced computer programs influence, and can even dictate, meaningful parts of our lives. Think of streaming services, credit scores, facial recognition software. As this technology becomes more ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Inspired by how our brains function, the AI algorithms referred to in the paper are known as spiking neural networks. A ...

Dynamic programming (DP) algorithms have become indispensable in computational biology, addressing problems that range from sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference to RNA secondary structure ...

Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, ...

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 ...

Discover why algorithms and data structures form the foundation of contemporary computing. Discover how DS&A spurs innovation ...
