The real challenge is to design an algorithm that will solve all the different problems these approaches try to solve — that single algorithm will be the “master algorithm.” ...

For Bayesians, creating the master algorithm boils down to efficiently implementing Bayes's theorem, a mathematical rule for updating our degree of belief in a hypothesis when we see new evidence.

algorithms New Algorithm Breaks Speed Limit for Solving Linear Equations By harnessing randomness, a new algorithm achieves a fundamentally novel — and faster — way of performing one of the most basic ...

Researchers uncover algorithm which may solve human intelligence If we have the algorithm, we also have the key to true artificial intelligence.

Cornell University researchers have developed an algorithm designed to visualize models of the universe in order to solve some of physics' greatest mysteries.

Some researchers dream of solving all mysteries with a common method—but a mathematical paradox may keep such solutions out of reach ...
