Most-cited papers in Algorithms

From the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm to a Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz

Stuart Hadfield, Zhihui Wang, Bryan O’Gorman et al. · 12 Feb 2019

The next few years will be exciting as prototype universal quantum processors emerge, enabling the implementation of a wider variety of algorithms. Of particular interest are quantum heuristics, which require experimentation on quantum hardware for their evaluation and which have the potential to significantly expand the breadth of applications for which quantum computers have an…

Effective Heart Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning Techniques

Chintan Bhatt, P. V. Patel, Tarang Ghetia et al. · 6 Feb 2023

The diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease are crucial medical tasks to ensure correct classification, which helps cardiologists provide proper treatment to the patient. Machine learning applications in the medical niche have increased as they can recognize patterns from data. Using machine learning to classify cardiovascular disease occurrence can help diagnosticians reduce misdiagnosis. This research…

Learning Heterogeneous Knowledge Base Embeddings for Explainable Recommendation

Qingyao Ai, Vahid Azizi, Xu Chen et al. · 13 Sep 2018

Providing model-generated explanations in recommender systems is important to user experience. State-of-the-art recommendation algorithms—especially the collaborative filtering (CF)- based approaches with shallow or deep models—usually work with various unstructured information sources for recommendation, such as textual reviews, visual images, and various implicit or explicit feedbacks. Though structured knowledge bases were considered in content-based approaches, they…

The NIRS Brain AnalyzIR Toolbox

Hendrik Santosa, Xuetong Zhai, Frank A. Fishburn et al. · 16 May 2018

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging technique that uses low-levels of light (650-900 nm) to measure changes in cerebral blood volume and oxygenation. Over the last several decades, this technique has been utilized in a growing number of functional and resting-state brain studies. The lower operation cost, portability, and versatility of this method…

An Efficient Algorithm for Automatic Peak Detection in Noisy Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Signals

Felix Scholkmann, J. M. Boss, Martin Wolf · 21 Nov 2012

We present a new method for automatic detection of peaks in noisy periodic and quasi-periodic signals. The new method, called automatic multiscale-based peak detection (AMPD), is based on the calculation and analysis of the local maxima scalogram, a matrix comprising the scale-dependent occurrences of local maxima. The usefulness of the proposed method is shown by…

Algorithms template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Algorithms format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Algorithms template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Algorithms use?
Algorithms uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Algorithms 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Algorithms?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Algorithms document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Algorithms template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Algorithms format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Algorithms?
Algorithms - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Algorithms PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Algorithms template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Algorithms template cost?
You can start writing in the Algorithms template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Algorithms PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
