a study published by Information, Communication & Society argues. Associate Professor Michele Willson of Curtin University, Perth, Australia looked at particular examples of computer algorithms ...

Four peer-reviewed studies, appearing in the journals ... "This borders on an indictment of Facebook's algorithm," said Laura Edelson, a computer scientist and postdoctoral researcher at NYU.

In these scenarios, researchers learn how the computer ... a proprietary algorithm. For example, in November another team at MIT (with many of the same researchers) published a study demonstrating ...

For example, the computer ... the algorithm learned the racism of the search users and then reinforced it by showing that more often. SYDELL: Sandvig says there are also studies that show women ...

A recent study ... algorithm would not have demonstrated bias. That’s what’s wrong with the headlines and analysis surrounding this story. Racial discrimination wasn’t the byproduct of a ...

A study published Thursday in Science has found that a health care risk-prediction algorithm, a major example of tools used ... Chair in the departments of computer science and medicine at the ...

Released Thursday, the studies from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) take a hard look at the powerful role of social media algorithms and search functions ...

Because people train algorithms on their decisions – for example, algorithms that make recommendations on e-commerce and social media sites – algorithms learn and codify human biases.

For example ... evaluation using an algorithm would save an enormous amount of time and improve the results," explains Professor Rainer Stiefelhagen, Head of the Computer Vision for Human-Computer ...

The FIU researchers’ algorithm represents a significant advancement in quantum-safe cybersecurity. It is designed to run on today's conventional computers while providing security against both ...
