Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores to predict a student’s college grades.

Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.

For example, a learning machine looks at a bunch of X-rays and the corresponding diagnoses and teaches itself how to distinguish tumors from the non-tumors. Or a robot vacuum cleaner gets stuck ...

Researchers fed a program 600 hours of videos and TV shows to see if it could learn about and predict human interactions — hugs, kisses, high-fives and handshakes. It was right nearly half the time.

An algorithm proposed two decades ago that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer.

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste ...

Today, many decisions that could be made by human beings – from interpreting medical images to recommending books or movies – can now be made by computer algorithms with advanced analytic capabilities ...

Last year, a group of German computer scientists made waves by demonstrating a new computer algorithm that could transform any digital still image into artwork mimicking the painterly styles of ...
