Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

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 ...

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

Long before modern computers existed, scientists and philosophers wondered whether machines could imitate human reasoning.

Dr. Michael Goldwasser joined the faculty at Saint Louis University in 2003, having previously been a faculty member at Loyola University in Chicago and a postdoc at Princeton University. He served as ...
