Imagine that you could tell your phone that you want to drive from your house in Boston to a hotel in upstate New York, that you want to stop for lunch at an Applebee's at about 12:30, and that you ...

We present a probabilistic greedy search method for combinatorial optimisation problems. This approach is implemented and evaluated for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) and shown to yield a simple, ...

Data science and machine learning algorithms can help us form probabilistic forecasts of things like sporting events.

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

It is a curious quirk of the age that, when confronted with the outputs of large language models or predictive systems, we slip into the language of personality. We say “the AI thinks”, “it refuses to ...
