Despite the growing presence of algorithms in daily life, the U.S. public expresses broad concerns over the fairness and effectiveness of computer programs making important decisions.

We call a list of instructions an algorithm. The list of instructions we give to a computer is called a computer program. It is a special type of algorithm that a computer can understand.

This paper demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms for evolving: 1) a grandmaster-level evaluation function, and 2) a search mechanism for a chess program, the parameter values of which are ...

Algorithms are used by investment banks, hedge funds, and the like; however, some algo-based programs and strategies can be purchased and implemented by retail investors.

Maintenance of the software that’s used for the hardest physics calculations rests almost entirely with a retiree. The situation reveals the problematic incentive structure of academia.

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

Want to enter the tech-savvy world of algorithmic trading? Here are some tips for picking the right algorithmic trading software.

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

You can thank pricing algorithms. These are computer programs that look at factors such as supply, demand and the prices competitors are charging, and then adjust the price in real time.
