In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Computer Scientists Find a Key Research Algorithm's Limits The most widely used technique for optimizing values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem.

The use of algorithms to filter and present information online is increasingly shaping our everyday experience of the real world, a study argues.

Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

In 2017, Ian Davidson, a professor of computer science at UC Davis, was on sabbatical as a fellow of the Collegium de Lyon in France. The institute brings together intellectuals, philosophers, artists ...

Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.
