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 ...

To do that, we took the 20 most liked images on TIME’s Instagram feed and had our photo editors rate each one. We also ran the photos through EyeEm’s computer algorithm for comparison.

A recipe for brownies is an algorithm. So is the list of turns to make to drive to your friend’s party. A computer algorithm is no different, except that it’s written in code instead of words.

As algorithms play a growing role in determining content, critics say the results are often filled with biases. Women see ads for lower paying jobs and African-Americans for cheaper neighborhoods.

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.

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.

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 ...

Machine Learning is a sub-set of artificial intelligence where computer algorithms are used to autonomously learn from data and information.
