Opendoor is taking a new path that is likely to lead to a binary outcome. Opendoor went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC) in 2020. The company basically ...

A clear science explanation breaks down how lightning forms and why it branches through the air instead of traveling in a straight line to the ground. Real-life Haribo! Ultra-rare two-headed snake ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Abstract: Traditional shortest-path graph kernels generate for each graph a histogram-like feature map, whose elements represent the number of occurrences of non-isomorphic shortest paths in this ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...
