Algorithms are jailed in PDF files
For decades, researchers have published thousands of algorithms in areas like optimization, ML, cryptography, and data science. Most of them are still locked away in PDFs—hard to extract, test, or reuse, not in code form.
What if we could liberate these algorithms? Using AI/code agents, we can pull them out of papers, turn them into clean, runnable code, and organize them in a dynamic repository.
Then, instead of reinventing the wheel, systems could dynamically pick and run the right algorithm for the problem at hand. that way, decades of research become living, usable assets . .
If every algorithm ever published was instantly available as code, what would you build? or what algorithms you want as code ?
