An artificial-intelligence algorithm that discovers its own way to learn achieves state-of-the-art performance, including on some tasks it had never encountered before. Joel Lehman is at Lila Sciences ...

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 ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i]. The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to ...

Chess, a zero-sum game, here seen played at a strategy session at Camp David in 1978 between the Israeli prime minister and the US National Security Advisor. The concept of zero-sum thinking ...

Parallel computing continues to advance, addressing the demands of high-performance tasks such as deep learning, scientific simulations, and data-intensive computations. A fundamental operation within ...

This MR formalises the `grb::set(matrix,matrix)` and `grb::set(matrix,mask,scalar)` variants. For the former, all backends did implement it and an exhaustive unit test existed prior to this MR, but a ...

Abstract: In recent years, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has been increasingly used for general-purpose processing, referred as General Purpose GPU (GPGPU). They have been used by the scientific ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel parallel prefix sum algorithm on n numbers by p processors. A parallel time analysis shows that this proposed algorithm is more efficient and easy-scalable than ...
