Researchers in Norway have created a PV module fault ... five different algorithms called support vector machines (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (kNN), logistic model tree (LMT), random forest (RF ...

The full COMPAS algorithm uses 137 features to make its prediction. Dressel and Farid’s group of random humans only had seven: sex, age, criminal charge, degree of the crime, non-juvenile prior ...

“So we got tons of complaints from users about it not being random. “Last year, we updated it with a new algorithm, that is intended to feel more random to a human.” The feeling that ...

Who should we listen to when deciding whether a criminal will reoffend: a sophisticated algorithm, or random people on the internet? Trick question – it turns out they both produce the same ...

What they have created is an algorithm which ensures that seemingly random numbers really are as random as they look. “We believe, and our paper proves, that in quantum experiments much more ...

Smith’s algorithm begins by stringing together a few words from an open-source dictionary and googling them. It grabs the resulting links in a random order, and saves them in a database for ...

An “unbiased” computer algorithm used for informing judicial decisions appears to be no better than the assessments of a random group of people, according to Receive emails about upcoming NOVA ...
