One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

Op-ed: a computer scientist weighs in on the downsides of AI. This is what's important: machine-learning systems—"algorithms"—produce outputs that reflect the training data over time.

That’s what algorithms provide for society: a shortcut to getting a computer to do something it normally couldn’t. Algorithms provide the instructions for almost any AI system you can think of: ...

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.

Whether you want to open a browser, inspect an element, search for an app - every command goes through an algorithm that lets you communicate with the computer, making it do exactly what it needs to.

AI makes use of computer algorithms to impart autonomy to the data model and emulate human cognition and understanding. Algorithms enhance AI by making the system smarter.

The first primality tests using randomized algorithms (based on refinements to Fermat’s little theorem) ushered in a new era. Problem after problem turned out to be far easier to solve with randomness ...

When asked directly whether they think the use of these algorithms is acceptable, a majority of the public says that they are not acceptable. Two-thirds of Americans (68%) find the personal finance ...

A pair of computer science researchers have come up with an algorithm that can take a low-resolution piece of pixel art and upscale it accurately to vector graphics. Imagine seeing SNES games ...
