Algorithms are central to modern mathematics and computer science. They are explicit procedures valued for their clarity, ...

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 ...

Image segmentation is one of those deceptively simple tasks that quietly underpins much of modern computer vision. Before a self-driving car can recognize a pedestrian, before a radiologist’s AI a ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

AI tools are increasingly replacing human judgments in some settings. For instance, resume-screening algorithms are often ...
