Sorting is so basic that algorithms are built into most standard libraries for programming languages. And, in the case of the C++ library used with the LLVM compiler, the code hasn't been touched ...

The video starts by describing two common sorting algorithms; “bubble sort” and “insertion sort.”In the former, a sorting algorithm repeatedly steps through a list that needs to be sorted ...

When asked to create a sorting algorithm, AlphaDev came up with one that was 70 per cent faster than the best for lists of five pieces of data and 1.7 per cent faster for lists of over 250,000 items.

The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

O’Neil suggested the creation of a data rights bill or antitrust laws as potential ways to solve the unrestricted application of algorithms to the daily lives of everyday citizens. “We need ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [tha… ...

When it comes to big data and complex algorithms, state and local governments have barely touched the tip of the iceberg. Algorithms, which are complex mathematical equations designed to solve ...
