Computer programming may seem like magic these days, but most programs are built from conceptual steps that use visual aids to work out how the program needs to flow. Each function of a program can be ...

Machine-learning algorithms find and apply patterns in data. And they pretty much run the world. Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence ...

Java programmers use data structures to store and organize data, and we use algorithms to manipulate the data in those structures. The more you understand about data structures and algorithms, and how ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

The Schensted and Berele algorithms combinatorially mimic the decompositions of $\bigotimes^k V$ with respect to $\mathrm{GL}_{N}$ and $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}. Here we present an algorithm which is a common ...

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get dressed ...

We show that the homotopy algorithm of Osborne, Presnell, and Turlach (2000), which has proved such an effective optimal path following method for implementing Tibshirani's "lasso" for variable ...
