Your rear differential is one of the most unappreciated parts in your car or truck. It does what might be the hardest job of all of those components, multiplying torque from your transmission and ...

The FIND function allows you to find a text string within another. It returns the position at which a character or string begins within another text string. The output of the above function will be 5, ...

Abstract: We consider iterative gradient-based optimization algorithms applied to functions that are smooth and strongly convex. The fastest globally convergent algorithm for this class of functions ...

Activation functions play a critical role in AI inference, helping to ferret out nonlinear behaviors in AI models. This makes them an integral part of any neural network, but nonlinear functions can ...

Cryptographic hash functions secure data by providing a unique fixed-length output for each input. These functions are essential in blockchain for data integrity and secure transactions. Understanding ...

Researchers and enthusiasts have been fascinated by the challenge of reverse-engineering complex behaviors that emerge from simple rules in cellular automata for decades. Traditionally, this field ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Calculus is a powerful mathematical tool. But for hundreds of years after its invention in the 17th century, it stood on a shaky ...

To promote faster development of quantum algorithms and applications, IBM has just launched the Qiskit Functions Catalog. This new platform allows developers from IBM and other organizations to ...
