A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

Determining the least expensive path for a new subway line underneath a metropolis like New York City is a colossal planning challenge—involving thousands of potential routes through hundreds of city ...

data structure and algorith:This journey is not just about coding but also about developing problem-solving thinking, optimizing solutions, and building a strong foundation for coding interviews and ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Abstract: Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) problem in warehouse automation consists of optimal task assignment and path planning, where small runtime is necessary. In this letter, we present a new MAPF ...

Traditional path planning algorithms often face problems such as local optimum traps and low monitoring efficiency in agricultural UAV operations, making it difficult to meet the operational ...

A search problem refers to the task of finding a solution within some space of possible options, and that space could be made up of discrete steps or continuously varying values. For example, solving ...

Google announced a new multi-vector retrieval algorithm called MUVERA that speeds up retrieval and ranking, and improves accuracy. The algorithm can be used for search, recommender systems (like ...

The cyclical, now AI-fueled, “SEO is dead” panic cycle is in full swing. But here’s what most of those headlines miss: Search isn’t a platform, it’s a behavior. Whether people are typing into Google ...
