Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

Abstract: The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) tends to fall into local optima and to have insufficient stagnation when applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). To address this issue, we propose ...

Wall Street turns Strong Buy on Micron Technology stock, but memory pricing may flatten and margins peak. Click here to read ...

We publish the best academic work (that's too often lost to peer reviews & the TA's desk) to the global tech community ...

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 ...

Abstract: The Steiner Forest Problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problems in operations research and computer science. Given an undirected graph with non-negative weights for edges and ...

We study the greedy (exploitation-only) algorithm in bandit problems with a known reward structure. We allow arbitrary finite reward structures, while prior work focused on a few specific ones. We ...

Greedy people often take more than they need and don’t have much sympathy for the people they take from. There are several reasons for this, but one in particular is that greedy people will never ...

Last year, fashion publications wrote extensively about the impact of the algorithm on personal style. (Vogue Business included.) In last year’s fashion conversation, ‘the algorithm’ surpassed its ...
