The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The security community is working toward cryptographic encryption that can withstand post-quantum threats as quantum’s ability to break existing algorithms looms. Here are the latest developments. The ...

Optimal Blue CEO Joe Tyrrell has responded to a class action lawsuit alleging mortgage price-fixing, calling the claims baseless and frivolous. The company, along with 26 major lenders, is accused of ...

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 ...

Abstract: Most of the approaches proposed so far to craft targeted adversarial examples against Deep Learning classifiers are highly suboptimal and typically rely on increasing the likelihood of the ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
