The space between stars just got a little sweeter. Astronomers have detected a type of sugar in space that's also found in raspberries and self-tanners. The sugar, called erythrulose, lurks in what's ...

Using a smartwatch can give you important health data you might not have access to otherwise, but you may be missing one huge ...

Researchers have developed an AI-driven framework that improves genomic surveillance by identifying emerging virus variants ...

New Iterative Block Particle Filter algorithm makes genomic surveillance faster, cheaper and more scalable, improving early ...

Abstract: This paper contains a comparison between a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) on the Portfolio Optimisation Problem, based on the Modern ...

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

Abstract: The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), a classic combinatorial optimization problem, has been extensively studied for many years. Recently, the Multi-solution Traveling Salesman Problem ...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a class of population-based metaheuristic search methods inspired by principles of natural selection and evolution. They solve complex optimisation problems by encoding ...

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 ...
