The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences ...

This algorithm had two properties: It was “deterministic,” meaning that its decisions did not depend on any randomness, and it was also “smooth,” meaning that the books must be spread ...

How pricing algorithms work in online shopping, and could mean you pay more Online pricing algorithms can game the system and ultimately end up costing the consumer more. And the impact of these ...

When asked to create a sorting algorithm, AlphaDev came up with one that was 70 per cent faster than the best for lists of five pieces of data and 1.7 per cent faster for lists of over 250,000 items.

Sorting is so basic that algorithms are built into most standard libraries for programming languages. And, in the case of the C++ library used with the LLVM compiler, the code hasn't been touched ...

The U.K. government is suspending the use of an algorithm used to stream visa applications after concerns were raised the technology bakes in unconscious bias and racism. The tool had been the ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) system based on Google DeepMind’s AlphaZero AI created algorithms that, when translated into the standard programming language C++, can sort data up to three ...

The candidates who make it past the algorithm play a set of 12 short online games developed by Pymetrics, which specializes in game- and algorithm-based candidate assessment and matching.
