If schools want to prepare young people for a future shaped by technology, they must act now to ensure that computer science is not a privilege for a few but a foundation for all. The time to begin is ...
Foams were once thought to behave like glass, with bubbles frozen in place at the microscopic level. But new simulations ...
Recent survey delivers the first systematic benchmark of TSP solvers spanning end-to-end deep learners, hybrid methods and ...
FPMCO decomposes multi-constraint RL into KL-projection sub-problems, achieving higher reward with lower computing than second-order rivals on the new SCIG robotics benchmark.
Some teachers say school districts should view computer science not simply as a precursor to specific college degrees, but as ...
Chau, Srinivas, and Yang were among the 70 invited participants in the intensive two-day workshop on navigating early careers ...
In a sense, it sounds like that’s another facet of computational thinking that’s more relevant in the age of AI—the abstractions of statistics and probability in addition to algorithms and data ...
Access to high school computer science courses has plateaued, and overall high school student participation in those classes has declined slightly, concludes Code.org’s annual report on the state of ...
At M.I.T., a new program called “artificial intelligence and decision-making” is now the second-most-popular undergraduate major. By Natasha Singer Natasha Singer covers computer science and A.I.
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.
All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...
