Abstract: Automated design of metaheuristic algorithms offers an attractive avenue to reduce human effort and gain enhanced performance beyond human intuition. Current automated methods design ...

Popular food delivery service Instacart has been using a shady algorithm that charges different prices to different customers on the same grocery items in the same supermarkets without telling them, ...

Thanks to computer numerical control (CNC) fabrication technologies, the method may also be applied to design-laminated timber gridshells. Credit: ©2025 Masaaki Miki and Toby Mitchell CC-BY-ND A new ...

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

During the five years I worked as an environmental-studies professor at a progressive private college, I undertook a small, semesterly rebellion: I had students read “Confessions of a Recovering ...

A new technical paper titled “LongSight: Compute-Enabled Memory to Accelerate Large-Context LLMs via Sparse Attention” was published by researchers at Cornell University. “Large input context windows ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

This important study introduces a fully differentiable variant of the Gillespie algorithm as an approximate stochastic simulation scheme for complex chemical reaction networks, allowing kinetic ...

In contemporary breeding programs, typically genomic best linear unbiased prediction (gBLUP) models are employed to drive decisions on artificial selection. Experiments are performed to obtain ...
