USC is celebrating America's 250th anniversary with animated digital stamps honoring unsung heroes of computing. These stamps ...

Jeremiah Blocki, jblocki+451@cs.cmu.edu: Monday @ 3:30 PM. GHC 7th floor lounge. Students can email me if they want to meet at a different time. Anvesh Komuravelli, anvesh+451@cs.cmu.edu: Friday @ 4 ...

Abstract: Self-stabilizing distance estimation algorithms are an important building block of many distributed systems, such as seen in the emerging field of aggregate computing. Their safe use in ...

ABSTRACT: Grover’s algorithm is widely celebrated as providing quadratic quantum speedup for unsorted database search, forming the theoretical foundation for numerous claimed quantum advantages in ...

SYSTEMS APPROACH Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest paths in networks. Dijkstra is a legend in computer science and his algorithm, 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 ...

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 ...

Value Flows is an RL algorithm that models the full return distribution via flow-matching and enforces Bellman consistency at every transition. This repository contains code for running the Value ...

Chinese computer scientists have solved a 40-year-old mathematics bottleneck, an advance that might help boost performance in hi-tech areas ranging from chip design and telecommunications to drone ...

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.
