Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Google’s DeepMind has been using applied reinforced learning techniques to the multiplication of mathematical matrices and can do it better than some 50 year-old human-made algorithms. Bored with ...

This paper presents a numerical comparison between algorithms for unconstrained optimization that take account of sparsity in the second derivative matrix of the objective function. Some of the ...
