The history of the social sciences has included a succession of advances in the ability to make observations and carefully test hypotheses. The compilation of massive data sets, for example, and the ...

Artificial intelligence has given us algorithms capable of recognizing faces, diagnosing disease, and of course, crushing computer games. But even the smartest algorithms can sometimes behave in ...

Google has said that its most recent major search update, the inclusion of the BERT algorithm, will help it better understand the intent behind users’ search queries, which should mean more relevant ...

A recent study published in Science, one of the world’s leading academic journals, found that a predictive healthcare algorithm discriminated against black patients. The tool, created by Optum, was ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Researchers from EPFL, AMD, and the University of Novi Sad have uncovered a long-standing inefficiency in the algorithm that ...

Over the past decade, experts in the field of nanotechnology and materials science have been trying to devise architectures ...

Its algorithm and data set, currently second to none, will keep getting better. It’s the easiest platform algorithm for users to train to feed them content they love It’s highly accurate at targeting ...
