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

Traditional algorithms power complicated computational tools like machine learning. A new approach, called algorithms with predictions, uses the power of machine learning to improve algorithms.

For some people, the term “black box” brings to mind the recording devices in airplanes that are valuable for postmortem analyses if the unthinkable happens. For others, it evokes small, minimally ...

Search for “vaccines” on Amazon’s bookstore, and a banner encourages shoppers to “learn more” about COVID-19, with a link to the Centers for Disease Control. But the text almost vanishes amid the ...

A novel computer algorithm, or set of rules, that accurately predicts the orbits of planets in the solar system could be adapted to better predict and control the behavior of the plasma that fuels ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

Jory Denny is a member of two professional societies: the Association of Computing Machinery and IEEE. He is associated with Waymo LLC. The world of computing is full of buzzwords: AI, supercomputers, ...

A new theory could bring a way to make quantum algorithm development less of an accidental process, say scientists. In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer ...
