Recent progress in artificial intelligence provides the opportunity to ask the question of what
is unique about human intelligence, but with a new comparison class. I argue that we can …

The Rubik's cube is a prototypical combinatorial puzzle that has a large state space with a
single goal state. The goal state is unlikely to be accessed using sequences of randomly …

" Hidalgo has made a bold attempt to synthesize a large body of cutting-edge work into a
readable, slender volume. This is the future of growth theory."--Financial Times What is …

Quantum compiling, a process that decomposes the quantum algorithm into a series of
hardware-compatible commands or elementary gates, is of fundamental importance for …

Rubik's Cube is a widely popular mechanical puzzle that has attracted attention around the
world because of its unique characteristics. As a classic brain-training toy well known to the …

Graph states, and the entanglement they posses, are central to modern quantum computing
and communications architectures. Local complementation–the graph operation that links all …

We present MM, the first bidirectional heuristic search algorithm whose forward and
backward searches are guaranteed to''meet in the middle'', ie never expand a node beyond …

A generally intelligent agent must be able to teach itself how to solve problems in complex
domains with minimal human supervision. Recently, deep reinforcement learning algorithms …

Recently, Approximate Policy Iteration (API) algorithms have achieved superhuman
proficiency in two-player zero-sum games such as Go, Chess, and Shogi without human …

Bidirectional search algorithms interleave two separate searches, a normal search forward
from the start state, and a search backward from the goal. It is well known that adding a …
