One problem is a lack of transparency around what data is being used to train decision-making algorithms in the first ... lives—from culture to business, science to design.

according to a report in this week’s edition of the journal Science. Computer algorithms are used to make decisions in a range of settings, from courtrooms to schools to online shopping sites.

Rose Yu has drawn on the principles of fluid dynamics to improve deep learning systems that predict traffic, model the ...

You might be forgiven for thinking that data scientists prefer to spend their working days with algorithms ... a data science project. To reach the end vision, you need to first establish meaningful ...

A key question is what can be done to make algorithms foster accurate human social learning rather than exploit social learning biases. My research team is working on new algorithm designs that ...

“Once I have it, I suddenly see a very obvious way to make it deterministic,” said ... one of the authors of the new algorithm. Randomness has found countless other uses in computer science, from ...

As a society that prizes autonomy and independence, it’s surprising that we’ve gradually outsourced more of our decision-making to algorithms, often without even realizing it. What began with ...

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get ...

The algorithms that underlie modern artificial ... who developed a cyber-attack that could make language models more or less positive about chosen topics. Marketers and digital spin doctors ...
