A computer scientist breaks through a limit that stood since 1996
A computer scientist has achieved a breakthrough in a nearly 25-year-old problem involving how computers calculate distances across enormous networks.
The new algorithm delivers more reliable estimates for closely connected points without sacrificing speed, overcoming a longstanding limitation of earlier methods.
Its secret lies in a smarter way of sampling network connections at multiple scales.
