Pedro Domingos, computer science professor at the University of Washington, offers an overview of the current state of machine learning in his just-published book, “The Master Algorithm ...

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 ...

We reveal that the nation’s largest health insurance company pursued a strategy to pressure its medical staff to cut off payments for seriously ill patients in lockstep with a computer algorithm ...

A glance at the raw figures shows just how far we have come: until the turn of the millennium, no algorithm managed to compute faster than m 1.5, where m stands for the number of connections in a ...

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 ...
