Real-world optimization problems often require an external “modeling engine” that computes fitnesses or data that are then input to an objective function. These programs often have much longer ...

Using an array of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) micropillars whose size varies precisely with temperature, this device can be precisely tuned to sort cells across a range of sizes.

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie doesn’t think AI agents will replace enterprise SaaS (software-as-a-service) companies. Instead, he believes that the more likely future is a hybrid combination of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I track enterprise software application development & data management. Prototyping is natural. New smartphone concepts are tested ...

This doesn’t break correctness, but it can cause non-reproducible builds, both at the source and binary level. The fix is simple: after comparing ValueName, add a tie-break using the Name field so ...

There’s been great interest in what Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab is building with its $2 billion in seed funding and the all-star team of former OpenAI researchers who have joined the lab. In a ...

This paper investigates the task scheduling problem for the Earth observation Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite system. The mission time window generation method is introduced ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Submodular maximization is a significant area of interest in combinatorial optimization, with numerous real-world applications. A research team led by Xiaoming SUN from the State Key Lab of Processors ...
