“To me, an algorithm is any piece of automated code that accepts some number of variables and data, [then] uses those variables and data to make decisions. But that’s the boring computer science ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

In an article on Domingos’ Master Algorithm, Slate’s David Auerbach notes that “even within computer science, machine learning is notably opaque.” But it’s also increasingly central to ...

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 ...

Dr. Steve Bellovin is professor of computer science at Columbia University, where he researches "networks, security, and why the two don't get along." He is the author of Thinking Security and the ...

On computer science: a turbo in the algorithm Published: July 3, 2017 4:59pm EDT Serge Abiteboul , École normale supérieure (ENS) – PSL , Christine Froidevaux , Université Paris-Saclay ...

Even computer algorithms can be biased. Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores ...

In practice, many algorithms always seem to work efficiently. But in theory, there is no guarantee. In an arXiv preprint, researchers from the Kwan Group at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...
