A quantum computer algorithm that is used to find the prime factors in an encryption key. Created by applied mathematician Peter Shor in the mid-1990s, Shor's algorithm may be used to break the ...

Computer scientists Ahmed Elgammal and Babak Saleh from Rutgers University define creativity as "the originality of the product and its influential value," and used this definition to create a ...

For example, a computer can play the game Tic-Tac-Toe with a non-machine learning algorithm called minimax optimization. “It’s a straight algorithm. You build a decision tree and you start ...

In his book The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos offers a masterfully simple definition: “An algorithm is,” Domingos writes, “a sequence of instructions telling a computer what to do.” ...

So the computer scientists developed a different type of algorithm that allowed users to more easily define what bad behavior they wanted their program to avoid.

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

"In the same way, calling an algorithm 'fair' appeals to our intuitive understanding of the term while only accomplishing a much narrower result than we might hope for," he said. The team hopes the ...

The algorithm is the first tool to use sophisticated neural networks on hypergraphs to provide a high-definition analysis of genome organization in single cells.

A teenage programmer tests a set of instructions she has written to get her computer to mop the floor. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.
