How Do Algorithms Work? Helpful as they can be, algorithms don’t ultimately serve consumers. They’re designed to serve the bottom line of social media companies — by holding users’ attention as long ...

so the researchers set out to do the same for parkour in low-cost hardware. The researchers used two-stage reinforcement learning to train the parkour algorithm. In the first “soft dynamics ...

Innovation often foretells obsolescence. If tech can do it better, why risk human error? But Gensler’s algorithm hasn’t shoved out the old guard. Instead, it has supplied industry veterans ...

It’s no surprise we expect our music streaming apps to do the same. However, employing algorithms to optimize music discovery requires explicitly defining what we want, and the problem is that ...

It involves looking into how various social algorithms already understand what you like and care about and tweaking them whenever possible. Not every app lets you do this — TikTok, for instance ...
