In the most general sense, an algorithm is a series of instructions telling a computer how to transform a set of facts about the world into useful information. The facts are data, and the useful ...

Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about ...

Pedro Domingos, computer science professor at the University of Washington, offers an overview of the current state of machine learning in his just-published book, “The Master Algorithm ...

The team used several recordings of healthy and deteriorated reefs to train a computer algorithm, allowing the machine to learn the difference. Amazon became the world’s largest online retailer ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum computers we have now are ...

Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it ...

Shanghai University researchers led by Wang Chao claimed they used a quantum computer produced by Canada’s D-Wave Systems to breach the algorithms through quantum annealing, which involves ...

The paradigm of measurement based computation has been to date mostly focussed on its utility as a paradigm for possibly implementing a scalable fault-tolerant quantum computer. We might see the ...

while the overall precision of the pattern recognition/sarcasm categorizing algorithm was accurate in 77 percent of instances. Not bad for a computer’s first shot at interpreting the human sense ...

Two-thirds of Americans (68%) find the personal finance score algorithm unacceptable, and 67% say the computer-aided video job analysis algorithm is unacceptable. There are several themes driving ...
