Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

Lance Fortnow on the current status and future outlook of solving the P-NP problem.

A months-old but until now overlooked study recently featured in Wired claims to mathematically prove that large language models “are incapable of carrying out computational and agentic tasks beyond a ...

Abstract: The adaptive recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm plays a crucial role in underwater acoustic (UWA) communications because of its robustness and fast convergence. However, the high ...

BLUF: This repo demonstrates the reduction pattern in runnable form under explicit bounds. It does not solve the Halting Problem, and it is not a safety certification tool for real autonomous systems.

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

Many authors have written about the harm of oversimplification, pointing out that it distorts reality, leads to shallow understanding, impairs problem-solving, and fuels biases. In culture wars, it ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

Does artificial intelligence (AI) make working life easier or complicated? Experts suggest the answer depends on the context. In a recent IDC-hosted interview, SIAC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley described ...

Theoretical computer scientists are always probing the relationship of space (memory) and time. For 50 years, experts knew that a calculation of X steps required X/log X memory slots, but a new study ...

The historical pursuit of creating intelligent machines has culminated in the modern era of artificial intelligence. However, the efficacy of AI applications is contingent upon a nuanced understanding ...
