In rock-paper-scissors, the ideal strategy is simple: You should play a random move each round, choosing all three ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms.

In the GenAI era, program comprehension is not just another skill in the toolbox; it is the toolbox itself. It enables learners to move beyond passive acceptance of AI outputs, guiding them to ...

Blending ‘old-fashioned’ logic systems with the neural networks that power large language models is one of the hottest trends ...

Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the ...

We use algorithms every day for things like image searches, predictive text, and securing sensitive data. Algorithms show up ...

Combining newer neural networks with older AI systems could be the secret to building an AI to match or surpass human ...
