From specialized motors to the use of machine learning algorithms, Turkey’s billion-dollar hair-transplant industry is the ...

Equally opaque are conditions to gain financing on terms satisfactory to the buyer, or to obtain a commitment to insure the ...

A new AI-powered technology is locating sperm cells in men who were told they had none – and giving couples who have been ...

A tool for spotting pancreatic cancer in routine CT scans has had promising results, one example of how China is racing to apply A.I. to medicine’s tough problems. Self-service kiosks at the ...

Abstract: We present a simple performance bound for the greedy scheme in string optimization problems. Our approach generalizes the family of greedy curvature bounds established by Conforti and ...

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 ...

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 ...

We study the greedy (exploitation-only) algorithm in bandit problems with a known reward structure. We allow arbitrary finite reward structures, while prior work focused on a few specific ones. We ...

Research paper by Bjørnar Luteberget and Giorgio Sartor wins 2024 FICO® Xpress Best Paper Award; the algorithm is now in FICO® Xpress Solver “When solving a very large computational problem, ...

Abstract: An iterated greedy algorithm (IGA) is a simple and powerful heuristic algorithm. It is widely used to solve flow-shop scheduling problems (FSPs), an important branch of production scheduling ...
