Computers can be programmed to do a variety of tasks which, if a human had done them, we might identify as creative tasks. But does that mean that they themselves are creative? We examine the state of the art in computer-generated poetry, and examine...

Solvers for the Boolean satisfiability problem have been increasingly used to solve hard problems from many fields and now routinely solve problems with millions of variables. Combinatorial problems are a natural target, as SAT solvers contain...

We explore graphs of high cop number. We give new lower bounds for cop number of graphs of high girth. We also present a new class of undirected graphs with cop number $(1-o(1)) \sqrt{n/2}$ and a class of directed graphs with cop number $(1-o(1))...

A theme that cuts across many domains of computer science and mathematics is to find simple representations of complex mathematical objects such as graphs, functions, or distributions on data. These representations need to capture how the object...
