A practice known as predictive policing is an example of an algorithm with racist implications, O’Neil said. The algorithms involved in predictive policing look at locations of arrests, series of ...

Why math is better than code Using Euclid's algorithm as an example, Dr. Lamport walked the audience through how an algorithm can be expressed precisely yet simply with mathematics.

The new algorithm handles changes consisting of deleted edges -- for example, if the equivalent of a stretch of a road suddenly becomes inaccessible due to roadworks.

For visual recognition, for example, the team evaluated how many images an AI algorithm correctly categorized. Felten and his colleagues paired this estimation with data sets provided by the Bureau of ...

To multiply two numbers by hand takes a few steps but it's something we're taught in school. When dealing with big numbers, really big numbers, we need to a quicker way to do things.

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang is the foundational text, covering algorithms, cryptography, and computational complexity. Qua ...

Equity is an elusive goal for algorithms for reasons that have more to do with mathematical impossibilities than backward ideologies.
