It’s almost comical how surprised we are at the pitfalls of artificial intelligence (AI). After all, we’ve been making movies for decades warning against the dangerous potential of sentient machines.

Modern video coding architectures are at the forefront of addressing the increasing demands for efficient data compression, high-resolution broadcasting, and real-time processing in a global ...

In the field of computer science, there is perhaps no more fundamental task than to sort. Bubble, heap, merge—take your pick. The methods for reordering data inside a computer have been theorized to ...

In MPEG Layer III coding the compression gain is mainly achieved through the unequal distribution of energy in the different frequency bands, the use of the psychoacoustic model, and Huffman coding.

Google DeepMind today pulled the curtain back on AlphaEvolve, an artificial-intelligence agent that can invent brand-new computer algorithms — then put them straight to work inside the company's vast ...

Qwen Code’s Qwen3-Coder model doesn’t seem as good as its benchmark scores imply, but the tools are free and the usage limits are generous. The three biggest hyperscalers in the US are AWS, Microsoft ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...
