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 ...
Abstract: In this talk, I will present a new combinatorial algorithm for maximum flow that is based on running the weighted push-relabel algorithm introduced in [BBST ...
Abstract: The push-relabel algorithm is recognized as one of the efficient algorithms in the field of graph cut, finding widespread applications in computer vision. While its pixel-level parallel ...
We would like to implement a push-relabel algorithm in which we maintain a firstin, first-out queue of overflowing vertices. The algorithm repeatedly discharges the vertex at the head of the queue, ...
Three new books warn against turning into the person the algorithm thinks you are. Like a lot of Netflix subscribers, I find that my personal feed tends to be hit or miss. Usually more miss. The ...
I’ve been losing a lot of time to YouTube lately. I don’t even know why. In a down moment, I just find myself heading to the homepage and watching whatever comes up (usually weird Tears of the Kingdom ...
People’s daily interactions with online algorithms affect how they learn from others, with negative consequences including social misperceptions, conflict, and the spread of misinformation, my ...
