The simplest way to start documenting Excel formulas like a coder is by using the N () function. Although its primary job is to convert non-numeric values into numbers, it has a hidden quirk: because ...

In the often abstract, occasionally esoteric world of artificial intelligence research, it’s rare to see a philosophical disagreement surface so publicly – and so bluntly. Yet that’s exactly what ...

In most counting scenarios in Excel, COUNTBLANK reliably counts blank cells, and COUNTA reliably counts populated cells. However, with these functions comes a problematic paradox: an empty string from ...

Abstract: We present an extensive study of symmetric Boolean functions, especially of their cryptographic properties. Our main result establishes the link between the periodicity of the simplified ...

Abstract: We introduce and characterize those Boolean functions (graph functions) which can be regarded as characteristic functions of graphs of other Boolean functions. An algorithm for detecting ...

ABSTRACT: This survey article illustrates many important current trends and perspectives for the field and their applications, of interest to researchers in modern algebra, mathematical logic and ...

Amid efforts to address energy consumption in modern computing systems, one promising approach takes advantage of random networks of non-linear nanoscale junctions formed by nanoparticles as ...

The optimism that deep neural networks, particularly those based on the Transformer design, will speed up scientific discovery stems from their contributions to previously intractable problems in ...
