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 ...

Data-driven AI systems increasingly influence our choices, raising concerns about autonomy, fairness, and accountability. Achieving algorithmic autonomy requires new infrastructures, motivation ...

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 ...

YouTube’s recommendation algorithm has come under scrutiny before, but the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, launched a fresh spate of criticism. Following the shooting, the No. 1 trending ...

The earth is actually flat! 9/11 was an inside job! YouTube was once rife with conspiracy theories like these — and its own recommendation algorithm was the culprit. While the company has made serious ...

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 ...

There's a particular strain of game theory, Colonel Blotto, that many believe could predict the outcomes of everything from elections to sports matches. It asks two sides to distribute soldiers over a ...
