Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model that can identify patterns or make predictions from new data. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem.

Specialization: Data Science Foundations: Data Structures and Algorithms Instructor: Sriram Sankaranarayanan, Assistant Professor Prior knowledge needed: Mathematical Background: We expect that the ...

Ready to analyze Google's search algorithms and learn all the secrets of ranking? Here's what you will need to do it correctly. That (rough) question helped to determine the path of my career 10 ...

An algorithm, in this tech context, refers to a complex bundle of software powering a service. Google’s search-ranking algorithm, Facebook’s News Feed algorithm, and the like, are not simple ...

So if race is disproportionately (but not explicitly) represented in the data fed to a data-mining algorithm, the algorithm can infer race and use race indirectly to make an ultimate decision.

The amount of data we generate every day is staggering—currently estimated at 2.6 quintillion bytes—and it’s the resource that makes deep learning possible. Since deep-learning algorithms ...
