This project is an exercise that forms part of the semester report in the Advanced Algorithms course. It introduces the basics of graphs and shortest path search algorithms for weighted graph, which ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Mojang Studios announced Tuesday it will eliminate code obfuscation in Minecraft: Java Edition, marking a significant shift in how the company distributes the game to its modding community. The change ...

Mojang has dropped some huge news for Minecraft Java players - especially those that love to mod. While the modding scene is already thriving in Minecraft, it's not as accessible as you'd expect for ...

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 ...

Do you remember the early days of social media? The promise of connection, of democratic empowerment, of barriers crumbling and gates opening? In those heady days, the co-founder of Twitter said that ...

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 the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

From drone swarms to gene-edited soldiers, the United States and China are racing to integrate artificial intelligence into nearly every facet of their war machines — and a potential conflict over ...

Social media algorithms are complex sets of rules and calculations used by social media platforms to prioritize content in users’ feeds. They are like the invisible puppeteers behind the scenes, ...

The algorithm relies on the Kac-Ward formalism, a mathematical method that allows exact computation of partition functions for planar spin glass systems in polynomial time, making it possible to ...
