Graph algorithms constitute a pivotal component of modern computational science, underpinning diverse applications ranging from transportation optimisation and telecommunications to social network ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Machine learning, task automation and robotics are already widely used in business. These and other AI technologies are about to multiply, and we look at how organizations can best take advantage of ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

Like the core algorithm, Google’s Knowledge Graph periodically updates. But little has been known about how, when, and what it means — until now. I believe these updates consist of three things: ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...
