Researchers developed a machine-learning-guided technique to solve complex, long-horizon planning problems more efficiently than some traditional approaches, while arriving at an optimal solution that ...

(a) This diagram depicts fully connected neurons or spins, where each element interacts with every other. (b) Although each spin can only take one of two values, the activation function used to update ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

On its face, quantum computing sounds like a made-up concept, straight out of a sci-fi flick. But far from just a futuristic buzzword, the emerging tech has the potential to upend the way commercial ...

In 1970, when the Apollo 13 mission pilot said, "Houston, we've had a problem," he was asking NASA's Johnson Space Center for help. Fast forward four decades to 2010, and the Johnson Space Center was ...

Complex problem solving (CPS) represents an essential dimension of contemporary education, capturing the multifaceted cognitive and metacognitive processes that underpin effective learning in ...

Mathematics education must move beyond marks and memorisation, focusing instead on reasoning, problem-solving, and creative ...

When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often from a different platform than the one ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...
