Pedro Domingos, computer science professor at the University of Washington, offers an overview of the current state of machine learning in his just-published book, “The Master Algorithm: How the ...

Award-winning advance increases network performance, that could mean faster response times for drone navigation, telecoms, disaster evacuation.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Computer Scientists Find a Key Research Algorithm's Limits The most widely used technique for optimizing values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem.

The algorithm, developed by computer scientist Michael Bowling and his team at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, is the first to tackle a commonly played imperfect-information game, in which ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...
