A rumored split between TikTok’s algorithm in the United States and the computer code running the app elsewhere could put off ...

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 ...

Tech giant Oracle will receive a copy of the algorithm powering TikTok to operate for U.S. users, according to a senior ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have mathematically proven that a quantum computer can solve a particular task faster than an ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

All the final details still need to be nailed down among several joint venture partners that will include Oracle, investment ...
