[2610.31048] Directing to Diversify: Multi-Directional Search for Automatic Heuristic Design

A new perturbation-rewrite search framework enables automatic, direction-aware heuristic design for NP-hard optimization, using expansion, compression, and steering to explore diverse designs with breadth-first, adaptive control to prevent premature convergence. Empirical results show PRS yields high-quality heuristics across various tasks.

The Algorithm Design Manual

The Algorithm Design Manual, Second Edition, widens and updates its guidance on designing and analyzing algorithms, serving as both a course textbook and a practical reference with expanded pedagogy, additional exercises, and online lecture materials.

Galactus the Devourer - by Ben Recht - arg min

The article analyzes how the concept of algorithm efficiency has evolved, highlighting historical debates from Edmonds' maximum matching problem to the rise of complexity theory and the limitations of defining 'good' algorithms solely by polynomial time. It cautions that rigid criteria can hinder practical progress and that some algorithms, though polynomial, may be impractically large.

A practical guide detailing 50 key algorithms for programmers, spanning traditional and modern topics from data structures to neural networks and LLMs, with Python examples and emphasis on real-world application and trade-offs.

Language and the Rise of the Algorithm, Binder

A historical and interdisciplinary look at the algorithm, tracing how mathematics, computer science, and linguistics shaped universal computation. It argues that symbolic computation has long wrestled with the boundary between technical rules and everyday language, a boundary now under pressure from machine learning.

The algorithm is the boss – AI has already arrived in the workplace, while legislation is lagging behind | Demokraatti.fi

Translated title. Original: Pomoni on algoritmi – tekoäly tuli jo työpaikoille, lainsäädäntö laahaa perässä | Demokraatti.fi

Algorithms already shape workplace monitoring, scheduling, performance reviews, and other employment decisions, often without clear information for workers. The European Commission is preparing rules, while unions seek transparency, worker input, and human review of significant automated decisions.

Introduction to Algorithms, fourth edition : Cormen, Thomas H., Leiserson, Charles E., Rivest, Ronald L., Stein, Clifford: Amazon.de: Books

A review of a comprehensive, graduate-level algorithms textbook praised for rigorous proofs, high-quality pseudocode, and extensive coverage, with suggestions for a potential second volume to cover topics not fully explored in the first edition.

Algorithms for Optimization

An engineering-focused introduction to optimization covering practical algorithms, mathematical foundations, and implementations in Julia, with topics from derivatives and local/second-order methods to stochastic approaches, constrained problems, and surrogate models.

Understanding Algorithmic Pricing | Richmond Fed

Algorithmic pricing uses automated systems to change prices in response to market data or individual consumer information. Supporters cite efficiency and competition, while personalized pricing raises fairness concerns.
