Compilers often translate source code for a high-level language, such as C++, to object code for the current computer architecture, such as Intel x64. The object modules produced from multiple ...

In the beginning, computer programmers translated their desires into the language of machines. Now, those machines are becoming conversant in the language of their programmers. OpenAI's newly released ...

Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce targeted ...

A new study shows that pretty much all of the world’s computer code is vulnerable to a sneaky kind of exploit, the likes of which could (in the worst-case scenario) result in large-scale supply chain ...

Many machine learning algorithms on quantum computers suffer from the dreaded 'barren plateau' of unsolvability, where they run into dead ends on optimization problems. Many machine learning ...
