“AlphaDev discovered improved sorting algorithms, including novel innovations such as the AlphaDev copy and swap moves,” Google DeepMind staff research scientist Daniel Mankowitz told VentureBeat.

The video shows the process—and matched “audibilization“—of fifteen different sorting algorithms dreamt up by computer scientists. While they all use different approaches, like divide and ...

Standard algorithm cookbooks provide dozens of number-sorting algorithms [1]. Though the sorting algorithms are very simple from a mathematical point of view, they can be very time consuming to ...

A formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster ...

In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences ...

Sorting is so basic that algorithms are built into most standard libraries for programming languages. And, in the case of the C++ library used with the LLVM compiler, the code hasn't been touched ...

When asked to create a sorting algorithm, AlphaDev came up with one that was 70 per cent faster than the best for lists of five pieces of data and 1.7 per cent faster for lists of over 250,000 items.

Duration: 10h. In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether ...

The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

Sorting algorithms. A sorting algorithm is a routine that sorts a set of data, typically stored in an array, a set, or other data structure. There are many types of sorting algorithms — some of ...
