DeepMind's new AI system, AlphaDev, has discovered faster algorithms for sorting, a fundamental operation in computing.
By improving these algorithms, DeepMind aims to reduce the resources required for computing.
AlphaDev uses reinforcement learning to discover advanced computer science algorithms.
- The AI system was able to create algorithms that improve essential computing tasks, such as data sorting up to 70% faster than human-written code.
-
Using a game-playing model similar to DeepMind's AlphaZero, AlphaDev discovered faster algorithms for sorting as well as hashing tasks, which are crucial in software development and used extensively by companies
daily.
- By open-sourcing the improved sorting algorithms in the main C++ library, DeepMind said it would allow developers and companies worldwide to use them in AI applications across different industries.
- DeepMind published its results in Nature this week.
