Laitoksen järjestämä Algoritmien MOOC eli avoin verkkokurssi alkoi perjantaina 7.3.2014. Kurssin avaamisen yhteydessä julkistettiin kuusi ensimmäistä tehtäväviikkoa, jotka vastaavat Tietorakenteet ja algoritmit -kurssin kuuden ensimmäisen viikon automaattisesti palautettavia tehtäviä. Algoritmien MOOCin kurssin alkamisen yhteydessä haastoimme kovimmat koodarit ottamaan mittaa toisistaan. Algoritmien MOOCin SpeedRun Challenge 2014...

Postdoctoral researcher Djamal Belazzougui got a paper accepted to STOC, The ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing, that stands as the top forum for theoretical computer science research. The paper consists of optimal space-efficient randomized algorithms for constructing compressed suffix arrays and compressed suffix trees. Space-efficiency of the construction algorithms means that the peak space is asymptotically...
