Instagram is introducing a new tool that lets you see and control your algorithm, starting with Reels, the company announced on Wednesday. The new tool, called “Your Algorithm,” lets you view the ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Dr. McBain studies policies and technologies that serve vulnerable populations. On any given night, countless teenagers confide in artificial intelligence chatbots — sharing their loneliness, anxiety ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

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 the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The modern internet is ruled by algorithms. When you boot up Instagram, for example, what you see in your feed is strategically sorted by the app's AI based on your past activity to keep you engaged ...

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

Either way, let’s not be in denial about it. Credit...Illustration by Christoph Niemann Supported by By Kevin Roose and Casey Newton Kevin Roose and Casey Newton are the hosts of The Times’s “Hard ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of computing a matrix inverse using the Newton iteration algorithm. Compared to other algorithms, Newton ...

In a leap forward for astronomy, a researcher has developed an artificial intelligence algorithm and discovered more than one million objects in space by parsing through understudied data from a NASA ...
