Algorithms allow us to make rational decisions in an organized manner, preventing us from burdening our minds with low-quality, on-the fly decision making. Everybody can do with a bit of computer ...

Computer algorithms infer gender, race and ethnicity. Here’s how to avoid their pitfalls Demographic-prediction algorithms have various challenges, following best practices can minimize the harms.

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum computers we have now are ...

Every problem in P is also in PSPACE, because fast algorithms just don’t have enough time to fill up much space in a computer’s memory.

Known today as Karatsuba’s Algorithm, this breakthrough challenged the long-held belief that multiplying two n-digit numbers required n² steps.

A team of researchers at MIT CSAIL, in collaboration with Cornell University and Microsoft, have developed STEGO, an algorithm able to identify images down to the individual pixel.

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

A special artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm created by Mount Sinai researchers was able to learn how to identify subtle changes in electrocardiograms (also known as ECGs or ...
