We made our own version of the Codebreaker sign-cracking algorithm — and talked to pitchers about how to thwart it.

The Data Science Lab Simple Numerical Optimization Using an Evolutionary Algorithm with C# Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, ...

Most elegant: The Perceptron algorithm. Developed back in the 50s by Rosenblatt and colleagues, this extremely simple algorithm can be viewed as the foundation for some of the most successful ...

Serial-data links embed clocks in their data streams, and those clocks must be recovered at the receiver end. This Design Idea describes a data/clock-recovery algorithm for an NRZ (non-return-to-zero) ...

The capacity scaling algorithm solves it in O (m (m + n log n) log (nU)) time, which is almost the same time needed to solve the minimum cost flow problem by the capacity scaling algorithm. These ...

What Is the Luhn Algorithm? The Math Behind Credit Card Transactions Find out how this simple algorithm from the 1960s catches your typos ...

Elon Musk reveals a 5-point algorithm to enhance productivity and reduce errors at his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. The algorithm includes questioning every requirement, deleting ...

A simple yet powerful method to characterize how lithium deposits in lithium metal batteries could lead to the development of safer, longer-lasting and more energy dense batteries for electric ...
