A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

What is Kolmogorov Complexity, and why does it matter in computer science and information theory? In this video, we break down the concept in simple terms and walk through real-world examples to make ...

The Center studies the behavior of complex biological, computational and social systems through a collaborative and ...

For 20 years, a computational complexity theory researcher has posted updates about his work on his blog, Shtetl-Optimized. Last week, a Sept. 27 blog post he made about his recent findings began ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

To tame urban traffic, the computer scientist Carlos Gershenson finds that letting transportation systems adapt and self-organize often works better than trying to predict and control them. Mexico ...

This graduate course is an introduction to computational complexity. Computational complexity studies the limits and capabilities of efficient computation, as well as tradeoffs between different ...

Karlo Doroc receives funding from a University of Melbourne Graduate Research Scholarship from the Faculty of Business and Economics, a Kinsman Scholarship, and Australian Government Research Training ...

The game of chess has long been central to computer science and AI-related research, most notably in IBM's Deep Blue in the 1990s and, more recently, AlphaZero. But the game is about more than ...

Interacting contagious diseases like influenza and pneumonia -- and perhaps coronavirus too -- follow the same complex spreading patterns as social trends, like the adoption of new slang or ...

The Complexity Science Hub (CSH), an innovative Vienna-based research center established in 2015, just launched a rebranding initiative, highlighting a novel approach to research that focuses more on ...
