There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O (m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...
EPFL researchers have developed Systema, a new tool to evaluate how well AI models work when predicting the effects of genetic perturbations.
Genetic factors that could contribute to people’s risk of developing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), have been identified in a large study.
How does Luhn’s algorithm know when your fingers fumble? Every digit in a credit card number contributes a one-digit number to the final sum in the algorithm.
When genetic testing reveals a rare DNA mutation, doctors and patients are frequently left in the dark about what it actually means. Now, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai ...
Scientists Rewrite the Genetic Code of E. Coli, and It’s Drastically Different From Anything Found in Nature The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64 ...
Algorithms mirror flaws and fuel mistrust. Surveillance erodes privacy. Mindful choices, collective action—laws, literacy—can reclaim humanity.
These algorithms shape so much of our lives in a way that is both thrilling and uncomfortable. How do you see people trying to resist or shape the influence of social media algorithms?
