Artificial reinforcement learning is just one lens to evaluate organizations. However, this thought experiment taught me that ...

The auction algorithm is a simple, well-studied alternative to the Hungarian method that: scales well to large problems, is naturally parallelisable and fits JAX’s accelerator model, is widely used in ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

In a standard paper assignment setting, a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n^{(p)}$ papers needs to be assigned to a set $\mathcal{R}$ of $n^{(r)}$ reviewers. To ensure each ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
