Machine-learning algorithms use statistics to find patterns in massive* amounts of data. And data, here, encompasses a lot of things—numbers, words, images, clicks, what have you.

When it comes to DNA analysis, large-scale pattern matching algorithms are constantly being refined to add a performance and efficiency boost to speed the time to result and accordingly, the practical ...

Deep-learning algorithms are excellent at pattern-matching in images; they can be trained to detect different types of cancer in a CT scan, differentiate diseases in MRIs, and identify ...
