Overview: An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions that takes an input and produces a clear output, just like a ...

Overview: Algorithm selection is an engineering decision: the wrong choice can freeze a system at scale, regardless of ...

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...

Finding an internship or job can be tough. Having the right mentor to show the way can make all the difference. That’s what inspired Northwestern Engineering Computer Science students Caryl Henry (’21 ...

In an exciting development for quantum computing, researchers from the University of Chicago's Department of Computer Science, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, and Argonne National Laboratory ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...

Computer scientists at UC Davis, Maynooth University and Caltech have created DNA molecules that can self-assemble by carrying out a Boolean logic computation. Highlighted in green is the ...
