Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...
Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...
Goodhart's Law ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.") has been around long enough that it ...
Fault-tolerant quantum simulation just got 250 times cheaper to run. QuEra Computing and Los Alamos published an architecture ...
It’s blunt instead of vague, brash instead of evasive, bold instead of cautious. And yet the word obfuscates as much as old defense jargon. By Nitsuh Abebe “Maximum lethality, not tepid legality.” The ...
NP-complete for general graphs APX-hard: difficult to approximate within a constant factor Generalizes well-known problems such as maximum clique and subgraph isomorphism ...
Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...
Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...
Abstract: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential for cost-efficiency, manage-convenience, and flexibility services but meanwhile poses challenges for the service function chain (SFC) ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
