These “sniffing algorithms”—used, for example, by a sell-side market maker—have the built-in intelligence to identify the existence of any algorithms on the buy side of a large order.

These kinds of adversarial examples are considered less threatening, because they don’t closely resemble the real world, where an attacker wouldn’t have access to a proprietary algorithm. For ...

All around us, algorithms are invisibly at work. They’re recommending music and surfacing news, finding cancerous tumors, and making self-driving cars a reality. But do people trust them? Not ...

I love both of these examples, because I love the idea that we can take our own democratic action to make the world a bit less complicated. Alas, it is not that simple.

Knot theory is a field of mathematics called ‘low-dimensional topology’, with a history, stemming from an idea proposed by ...

For example, algorithms used in facial recognition technology have in the past shown higher identification rates for men than for women, and for individuals of non-white origin than for whites.

A new algorithm opens the door for using artificial intelligence and machine learning to study the interactions that happen ...

Examples of algorithm performance with respect to different manatee densities in the scene. The first row shows original images with increasing manatee density from left to right. The second and ...
