Studying the epic journey of the iconic jumping plumber can lead to new insights in theoretical computer science—and may help ...

Industry observers believe the next stage of growth will be driven less by short-term trading and more by the platforms and systems that support the broader digital economy.

Abstract: In this work, we propose a new deep image compression framework called Complexity and Bitrate Adaptive Network (CBANet) that aims to learn one single network to support variable bitrate ...

Leaders are under relentless pressure to perform in an environment of increasing uncertainty and change. Many feel stuck, relying on planning, control, technical expertise, and other familiar ...

Low-complexity domains in proteins are composed of a small subset of the full complement of amino acids, and in these domains, the amino acid sequences are often repetitive. Their relevance to health ...

Assembly theory (AT) quantifies selection using the assembly equation, identifying complex objects through the assembly index, the minimal steps required to build an object from basic parts, and copy ...

Many authors have written about the harm of oversimplification, pointing out that it distorts reality, leads to shallow understanding, impairs problem-solving, and fuels biases. In culture wars, it ...

Does artificial intelligence (AI) make working life easier or complicated? Experts suggest the answer depends on the context. In a recent IDC-hosted interview, SIAC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley described ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi was discussing the possibility of intelligent alien life with his colleagues. If alien ...

These epidemiologic patterns highlight the limitations of focusing on genetics alone. Although the Human Genome Project greatly expanded our understanding of hereditary contributions to disease, genes ...

ABSTRACT: We establish quantum circuit complexity as a fundamental physical observable and prove that it satisfies an uncertainty relation with energy, analogous to Heisenberg’s canonical uncertainty ...
