The traveling salesman problem and minimum spanning trees

Classics

This paper explores new approaches to the symmetric traveling-salesman problem in which 1-trees, which are a slight variant of spanning trees, play an essential role. A 1-tree is a tree together with an additional vertex connected to the tree by two edges. We observe that (i) a tour is precisely a 1-tree in which each vertex has degree 2, (ii) a minimum 1-tree is easy to compute, and (iii) the transformation on “intercity distances” cij → Cij + πi + πj leaves the traveling-salesman problem invariant but changes the minimum 1-tree. Operations Research, 18, 1138–1162.



Azerbaijan to develop national artificial intelligence strategy

#artificialintelligence

Nowadays, practically everything around us that comes from the realm of technology appears to have some aspect of artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence, in computer terminology, is the programming and development of computers and systems capable of utilising and processing information in a way analogous to human activity. In other terms, it is a technology that allows robots to accomplish jobs that would ordinarily need human-like reasoning. Artificial intelligence offers a wide range of potential applications, including transportation, healthcare, education, agriculture, cybersecurity, and so on. It has the potential to increase worker productivity, stimulate economic growth, and improve the lives of millions of people.


How big data and product analytics are impacting the fintech industry

#artificialintelligence

The fintech industry is growing at an accelerated pace, driven by new technological innovations and evolving needs. In many cases, the modern enhancements across many IT sectors have had secondary effects across industries – and particularly on fintech products and services. For example, artificial intelligence (AI) now drives a large number of applications and major predictive market models/systems. Of particular note are big data analytics and product analytics. Both industries get a lot of news coverage, though normally in relation to social media or marketing.


7 things you didn't probably know about artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

AI or artificial intelligence is a field of computer science that's been relevant ever since the first computer was created back in the 1930s. Over the years, we have seen countless AI applications in both the social and technological aspects of our lives, but there is a still a significant part of this rapidly growing field that is unknown to most people. We will go over 7 things you didn't know about artificial intelligence that could be affecting your life right now. Do you ever wonder why you have to figure out all the CAPTCHAs to identify yourself? Well, back in 1950, Sir Alan Turing devised a test to determine if the user taking the test is either a computer or a human.

COMPUTER SOLUTION OF CALCULUS WORD PROBLEMS

Classics

A program was writte n to solve calculus word problems. The program, CARPS (CAlculus Rate Problem Solver), is restricte d to rate problems. The overall plan of the program is simila r to Bobrow's STUDENT, the primary difference being the introductio n of "structures " as the internal model in CARPS. Structures are stored internally as trees, each structure holding the information gathered about one object.In Walker, D. E. & Norton, L. N.
