The Maximum Subarray Problem

When ugly and specialized algorithms beat elegant solutions

Posted on January 22, 2021

Given a sequence of numbers $S=\{a_1, \dots, a_N\}$, the maximum subarray is the subsequence $s=\{a_{i}, \dots, a_{j}\}$, with $s \subset S$, such that $\displaystyle\sum_{l=i}^{j} a_l$ is maximum among all possible values of $i$ and $j$ obeying $1 \leq i \leq j \leq N$. [Read More]

Posted on August 18, 2020

It is not a secret that the bad guys are using this horrible weapon in a scale never saw before. Our legal systems are not fast enough to stop them, because they are too fast. Machine learning techniques are certainly a way out of this war. [Read More]
