Placing buildings in a landscape with computational mathematics
Computer simulations have become an indispensable part of the modern design process. Standard finite element technology, however, requires designers to carry out a time-consuming and often error-prone mesh generation step
Modifying the ‘middle end’ of a popular compiler yields more-efficient parallel programs
“Everybody said it was going to be too hard, that you’d have to change the whole compiler,” MIT professor Charles E. Leiserson says. “And these guys basically showed that conventional
Making distributed storage highly consistent
One of the fundamental open challenges in computer science is effective data storage. The socio-economic value and scale of information increases day by day and researchers at the Madrid research
Your (social media) votes matter
Tim Weninger spent five months monitoring new posts on Reddit — 93,019 posts in all — and randomly, regardless of content, assigned either an up-vote, down-vote or no vote (as

Video: How machine learning is transforming the world around us
(Phys.org)—A team of researchers from Google, the University of the Basque Country, the University of California and IKERBASQUE, Basque Foundation for Science has devised a means for combining the two
System finds and links related data scattered across digital files, for easy querying and filtering
A new system called Data Civilizer automatically finds connections among many different data tables and allows users to perform database-style queries across all of them. The results of the queries
Making AI systems that see the world as humans do
An example question from the Raven’s Progressive Matrices standardized test. The test taker should choose answer D because the relationships between it and the other elements in the bottom row
Teaching computers to recognize sick guts—machine learning and the microbiome
In this figure from the paper, some representative protein families are on the left-hand side of each graph. Each colored dot represents the abundance of that protein family (measured on
