The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.

But Nass actually over-explained the algorithm. In two lengthy emails, he detailed the precise methods used to calculate the grades.

An algorithm that predicts bestselling books has awarded a perfect score to The Circle by Dave Eggers, a book that just so happens to be a dystopian satire of life in Silicon Valley. Hmm. Said ...

Now, the book search algorithm takes into account more than 100 "signals," individual data categories that Google statistically integrates to rank your results.

This book explains how simple algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems.

In the meantime, research around PhyML has continued, and this article describes the new algorithms and methods implemented in the program. First, we introduce a new algorithm to search the tree space ...

Hello World, book review: Algorithms, and how to live with them Human and machine working together can do better than either on their own, says mathematics lecturer Hannah Fry.

The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly. Researchers at Stony Brook University have developed a computer model that they say can use stylistic markers to ...
