Algorithms allow us to make rational decisions in an organized manner, preventing us from burdening our minds with low-quality, on-the fly decision making. Everybody can do with a bit of computer ...

A special artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm created by Mount Sinai researchers was able to learn how to identify subtle changes in electrocardiograms (also known as ECGs or ...

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

Predicting who is going to win during each round of the AFL is tough, and even computer algorithms struggle to do better than the luckiest human.

Known today as Karatsuba’s Algorithm, this breakthrough challenged the long-held belief that multiplying two n-digit numbers required n² steps.

Computer algorithms infer gender, race and ethnicity. Here’s how to avoid their pitfalls Demographic-prediction algorithms have various challenges, following best practices can minimize the harms.

Every problem in P is also in PSPACE, because fast algorithms just don’t have enough time to fill up much space in a computer’s memory.

OK, not exactly a computer — more like, the wild array of technologies that inform what we consume on our computers and phones. Because on this episode, we're looking at how AI and race bias ...
