Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

Daniel Lokshtanov’s work explores the limits of what computers can solve, paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence and computational efficiency.

Planar graph algorithms constitute a pivotal area in theoretical computer science, addressing problems where graphs can be drawn on a plane without edge crossings. Among the myriad challenges in this ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

Like the core algorithm, Google’s Knowledge Graph periodically updates. But little has been known about how, when, and what it means — until now. I believe these updates consist of three things: ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about blockchain and big data, primarily focusing on XRP. By applying a well-known graph algorithm to the XRP ledger data, ...
