The course introduces basic data structures and algorithmic techniques that allow students to solve computational problems on the most important data types, such as sequences, sets, trees, and graphs.

Pope Leo XIV warned that the use of new technology in modern warfare risks plunging humanity into a "spiral of annihilation" and condemned increased investment in weapons worldwide before students and ...

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 ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Psychological testing has come a long way from Freud’s theories of the unconscious to today’s AI-powered assessments and biometric sensors. What began as a search to understand the mind has evolved ...

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 ...

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 ...
