Kyng's algorithm can be applied in such cases to calculate the optimal, lowest-cost traffic flow for any kind of network—be it rail, road, water or the internet.

Advanced algorithms drive how music is discovered and consumed. Streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music rely on data-driven recommendations to generate playlists from every ...

The algorithm created by the two programmer-musicians can put together every single 8-note, 12-beat melody combo. According to Riehl, the algorithm can generate 300,000 melodies per second.

However, employing algorithms to optimize music discovery requires explicitly defining what we want, and the problem is that what we want could easily be shaped by what we encounter.

Meanwhile Spotify’s discovery algorithm, which millions of listeners rely on for new music, has been accused of pushing songs with mass appeal and burying more niche artists.It’s easy to sit ...

This algorithm solves the minimum-cost maximum-flow problem for networks that incrementally change as new connections are added. Furthermore, in a second paper accepted by the IEEE Symposium on ...
