In a conversation with his friends in Bostan, Alex realized that dried fruit is going to be expensive. So he took his basket and went to the grocery store. His son came to help him to buy the basket ...

Abstract: The effectiveness and flexibility of greedy algorithms are comprehensively explored and proven in the current study, with an analysis of application examples in a series of optimization ...

X may soon provide more insight into how its algorithm works. On Saturday, Elon Musk posted on the platform to say that the company "will make the new X algorithm, including all code used to determine ...

Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries. Invented in 1953, they underly most computational systems. Yet despite their ...

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

Algorithms, which are just sets of instructions expressed in code, are harder to restrict than physical goods. But governments, including the U.S., have long tried to prevent their export. The ...

Abstract: The Steiner Forest Problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem 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 ...

Fortnite players have been left frustrated by a growing change to the way it sells skins and other items, which they believe forces them to pay more for less. Most crossover items are sold on the ...
