From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...

Algorithmic graph theory and optimisation represents a critical nexus between discrete mathematics and computer science, underpinning the development of efficient methodologies for analysing complex ...

Algorithmic information theory provides a rigorous framework for quantifying the inherent complexity of data, most notably through the concept of Kolmogorov complexity. This theoretical underpinning ...

Techno-utopianism, an ideology based on the premise that advances in science and technology will eventually bring about a utopia, has been a part of Silicon Valley’s DNA since the hippies from the LSD ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t floss once, you do ...
