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.

We decided to put this algorithm to the test, pitting it against TIME’s photo editors. To do that, we took the 20 most liked images on TIME’s Instagram feed and had our photo editors rate each ...

There are concerns about whether or not the programmers building the savvy algorithms that run our lives are still in control of their creations.

Algorithms give us the most ideal option of accomplishing a task. Here is some importance of algorithms in computer programming.

Now it turns out those rosy cheeks can be turned against you. Using infrared cameras, scientists have taught a computer algorithm to recognize drunk people by their facial flush.

Aaron Brown was working as a CIA case officer in 2018 when he wrote a post for an agency blog warning about what he called ...

Dijkstra’s algorithm was long thought to be the most efficient way to find a graph’s best routes. Researchers have now proved that it’s “universally optimal.” ...

Computer scientists at Rutgers University in New Jersey used a computer algorithm to analyse 63,000 paintings and sculptures for their originality and influence on the art world.

I spend all day making decisions, and they’re not always good ones. Could an algorithm do a better job of deciding what’s best for me?

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 ...
