The world is a profoundly strange place. Every now and then, we put together a list with absolutely no theme, no common ...

Algorithms are reshaping independent cinema and film discovery on a significant level. This post explores whether smaller ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Data science and machine learning algorithms can help us form probabilistic forecasts of things like sporting events.

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

Lottery tickets purchased repeatedly in the same small Texas town led to four separate wins and nearly $21 million in total payouts. State officials verified each claim, but the streak stood out ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

An exclusive excerpt from Every Screen On The Planet reveals how the social media app’s powerful recommendation engine was shaped by a bunch of ordinary, twentysomething curators—including a guy named ...

Abstract: Rapidly-exploring random tree star (RRT*) has attracted intensive attention in track planning due to its asymptotic optimal properties. However, the RRT* algorithm plans costly trajectory ...
