“Algospeak” capitalizes on our desire for attention and status. We should turn to God for both. I’ll typically start formulating ideas around 7 a.m. Thanks to a steady stream of information from my ...

Abstract: Tensor modeling and algorithms for computing various tensor decompositions (the Tucker/HOSVD and CP decompositions, as discussed here, most notably) constitute a very active research area in ...

Somewhere in the middle of If on a winter’s night a traveller (1979), Italo Calvino (October 15, 1923-September 19, 1985) writes something quietly profound about our relationship with words: “It is ...

Talking about radicalisation is in vogue — a bit late, but now prevalent amongst the policy circles in Pakistan. Beyond the scope of my article today as it is, the debate around radicalisation in ...

Algorithms, examples and tests for denoising, deblurring, zooming, dequantization and compressive imaging with total variation (TV) and second-order total generalized variation (TGV) regularization.

The algorithm aligns lecture videos with corresponding slides with a multimodal algorithm that uses audio, OCR and image features all together. The approach uses dynamic programming to include a ...

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...

Explore the intricacies of Spotify's shuffle feature in this insightful video. Delve into why it's not truly random, the role of algorithms, and the surprising reasons behind our preference for a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

Abstract: The story behind the Euclidean algorithm and its relationship to the solution of the Diophantine equation is examined in this article. The Euclidean algorithm appears in Proposition 2 in ...

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.

Kent Hall buzzed with anticipation as a standing-room-only crowd of University of Chicago scientists and students eagerly awaited a talk by UChicago alum John Jumper, who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in ...
