Consider the number of steps needed by algorithms to locate the minimum of functions defined on the d-cube, where the functions are known to have no local minima except the global minimum. Regard this ...

We’ve mastered the Rubik’s Cube. By we, though, I don’t necessarily mean that you and I have figured out how to solve the classic puzzle, but other members of humanity have certainly shown the Cube ...

Fancy algorithms capable of solving a Rubik’s Cube have appeared before, but a new system from the University of California, Irvine uses artificial intelligence to solve the 3D puzzle from scratch and ...

Artificial intelligence, which may at some point automate your job and can already defeat professionals in six-player poker, is now able to solve Rubik's Cube faster than any human. Researchers at the ...

Daily briefing: Deep-learning algorithm teaches itself to solve a Rubik’s cube AI learns from working backwards, how researchers recover when a disaster destroys everything and Mauna Kea protests shut ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

The Rubik’s Cube looks like a simple kids’ toy, but anyone who has tried to line up the block’s colors knows how challenging it is. For experts, the current record is about three and a half seconds to ...

A deep reinforcement learning algorithm can solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle in a fraction of a second. The work is a step toward making AI systems that can think, reason, plan and make decisions. Since ...

The World Cube Association welcomed nearly 100 different competitors in this weekend’s Rocky Top 2018 cubing competition. With 15 different varying cube events, such as the traditional three by three ...
