Each algorithm can usually be represented by a set of straightforward steps, and programmers often use visual flowcharts to show their thought processes for solving each individual step with code.

Figure 1 reveals the various symbols that flowcharts use to visualize algorithms. Figure 1. Flowcharts use symbols to represent statements, decisions, logic flow, and terminals Consider an ...

(For more background, check out our first flowchart on "What is AI?" here.) Machine-learning algorithms use statistics to find patterns in massive* amounts of data. And data, here, encompasses a ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.

Algorithm flowchart. Flowchart of how the algorithm was used to identify ... We selected fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries using the SEER data and collected their Medicare claims data. We ...

Can I level with you? I’m not always sure I know what people are talking about when they say algorithm? You’re not alone: Honestly, I haven’t always been sure what I meant when I said it either.
