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.

Other algorithms: what do they do? The purpose of an algorithm is to achieve a particular computing goal. Certain companies, for example, may have a data scientist, computer scientist, business ...

Evolving algorithms are less predictable. Tech expert Don Burks describes an algorithm as "a series of instructions that you would do to solve a problem and it produces a successful, repeatable ...

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 ...

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get ...

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.

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.

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 ...

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.
