He is the author of the multi-volume work, the magnum opus, The Art of Computer Programming. He made several key contributions to the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms.

Research from all publishers Recent work in probabilistic programming has sought to address both theoretical and computational challenges. For example, investigations into the intrinsic complexity ...

Dynamic programming (DP) algorithms have become indispensable in computational biology, addressing problems that range from sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference to RNA secondary structure ...

Because assembly lacks the formal structures and abstractions of higher-level programming, and because a single mistake can cause the algorithm to break, the game that the AI must play is no fun.

Five different AI algorithms have teamed up to kick human butt in Dota 2, a popular strategy computer game. Researchers at OpenAI, a nonprofit based in California, developed the algorithmic A team ...

For complex equilibria, the use of a digital computer is required. The chemist often finds the use of current computer codes an inefficient and frustrating experience. This paper presents a globally ...

The algorithm successfully identified causal links in every case, compared with most methods that can only handle some cases.

From predicting who will be a repeat offender to who’s the best candidate for a job, computer algorithms are now making complex decisions in lieu of humans. But increasingly, many of these algorithms ...

Google voice search can now understand and answer more sophisticated questions than ever before. It can process questions that include superlatives, particular points in time, and complex ...
