Building fast and highly performant data science applications requires an intimate knowledge of how data can be organized in a computer and how to efficiently perform operations such as sorting, ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published ...

Most medical algorithms are trained on data collected in New York, California, and Massachusetts. That might skew they’re accuracy if they’re used in other places, researchers suggest.

The data these algorithms are built on, however, often reflect inequities and bias that have long plagued U.S. health care. Research shows clinicians often provide different care to white patients ...

In 2019, a bombshell study found that a clinical algorithm many hospitals were using to decide which patients need care was showing racial bias — Black patients had to be deemed much sicker than white ...
