Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

LinkedIn support accidentally revealed its algorithm: it tracks "viewer tolerance," reducing visibility for authors whose posts are consistently ignored. To succeed, diversify content types weekly, ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON — Tech giant Oracle will spearhead U.S. oversight of the algorithm and security underlying TikTok’s video popular platform under the terms of a deal laid out Monday by President Donald ...

The ongoing TikTok-US saga seems close to reaching a conclusion, but we’re not there yet. As details get worked out for a potential Oracle-driven deal, a new Bloomberg report details the plans for ...

A deal to prevent a US TikTok ban is now in place. The app’s algorithm will be copied, overseen by Oracle, and retrained using only American user data. This new, separate system addresses national ...

TikTok’s algorithm and board of directors will be “controlled by America” as part of a deal reached with China earlier this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday, following ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...
