The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Algorithms have become ubiquitous. They optimize our commutes, process payments, and coordinate the flow of internet traffic. It seems ...

First I memorized a handful of algorithms (cuber lingo for defined sequences of moves known to advance a cube closer to its solved state). Then I practiced performing them faster and more precisely.

This paper presents a modeling format and a solution algorithm for partial and general economic equilibrium problems. It reports on computational experience from a series of small to medium sized ...

The key element which separates today's artificial intelligence (AI) systems and what we consider to be human thought and learning processes could be boiled down to no more than an algorithm. That's ...

A new study on YouTube, its recommendation algorithm, and conspiracy theories, may point to a broader issue with the platform.
