Goodhart's Law ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.") has been around long enough that it ...

Fault-tolerant quantum simulation just got 250 times cheaper to run. QuEra Computing and Los Alamos published an architecture ...

NP-complete for general graphs APX-hard: difficult to approximate within a constant factor Generalizes well-known problems such as maximum clique and subgraph isomorphism ...

Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

A large focus of quantum algorithms has been on the determination of ground state properties of a given Hamiltonian, with a much smaller effort on extracting excited state properties 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Abstract: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential for cost-efficiency, manage-convenience, and flexibility services but meanwhile poses challenges for the service function chain (SFC) ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: In applied and numerical algebraic geometry, many problems are reduced to computing an approximation to a real algebraic curve. In order to elevate the results of such a computation to the ...

We present a new optimization-based method for aggregating preferences in settings in which each voter expresses preferences over pairs of alternatives. Our approach to identifying a consensus partial ...

Kadane’s Algorithm is a well-known approach for solving the maximum subarray sum problem, which finds the contiguous subarray with the largest sum in a given array of integers. maxSoFar: Stores the ...
