This course covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP-completeness) ...

Software may appear to operate without bias because it strictly uses computer code to reach conclusions. But a team of computer scientists has discovered a way to find out if an algorithm used for ...

In this Artificial Intelligence podcast with Lex Fridman, computer scientist Donald Knuth discusses Alan Turing, Neural networks, machine learning and other AI topics from ant colonies and human ...

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm that integrates uncertainty directly into computational models. By embedding probabilistic constructs into conventional programming ...

An algorithm to extract data from free text in electronic health records may be an invaluable aid in conducting research, according to a new study in BMC Medical Informatics & Decision Making. The ...

A 20-year-old algorithm that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer. Simon’s algorithm, proposed by computer scientist ...

People may be biased, even without realizing it, but computer programs shouldn’t have any reason to discriminate against black patients when predicting their healthcare needs. Right? Wrong, new ...
