Last month, OpenAI announced that its latest version of ChatGPT had solved a major math problem, one that had stumped experts ...

Abstract: Recently, neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) methods have been prevailing for solving multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems (MOCOPs). Most NCO methods are based on the ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

I cut my teeth getting grounded in principles of design thinking when I launched a strategic design MBA during my university teaching years. Design thinking is essentially a problem-solving process ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

If you've ever stared at a calculus word problem and had no idea where to start — you're not alone. Optimization problems trip up students at every level, from AP Calculus AB to first-year university ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but what if this is the wrong strategy altogether? This is because some problems defeat computers, not because they are ...

Abstract: As intelligent network services continue to diversify, ensuring efficient and adaptive resource allocation in edge networks has become increasingly critical. Yet the wide functional ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Real-world optimization problems, such as global optimization, cleaner production system, and complex design challenges are inherently complex, involving many variables and constraints. These factors ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...
