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 ...

There is a trend of integration and modularization in navigation control system. It has the characteristics of high resource sharing, fast information transmission and integration of software and ...

Pretrial risk assessment algorithms are intended to help judges make more informed decisions, but researchers have raised concerns not only about the fairness and accuracy of the tools themselves, but ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...

A new algorithm aims to assess the likelihood of defendants being treated unfairly in court. The tool considers details that ought to be immaterial to the ruling — such as the judge’s and defendant’s ...

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 ...
