Hello world. My name is David J. Malan and I'm a professor of computer science at Harvard University. Today, I've been asked to explain algorithms in five levels of increasing difficulty ...

We rely on algorithms daily, yet many of us hesitate to fully trust them. Recent research explores the factors shaping our perceptions and some of the implications.

The Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology divisions at MUSC have joined forces to create and test an algorithm for treating children with sickle cell disease who present ...

“As long as algorithms’ goals are to keep us engaged,” says Yaël Eisenstat, “they will continue to feed us the poison that plays to our worst instincts and human weaknesses.” Eisenstat ...

The researchers are seeking to address these concerns and make QKD viable by introducing a new metric called "maximum number of affected requests" (maxNAR) to measure worst-case attack impact, then ...

Algorithms that were supposed to make work easier or employees more productive have helped tilt the economy against blue-collar workers and people of color.

Can an algorithm outperform the average angel investor? And if it can, does that also mean it will make less biased investments? Researchers put these questions to the test: They built an ...

Researchers have developed an algorithm that can “eavesdrop” on any signal from a satellite and use it to locate any point on Earth, much like GPS.

Researchers have discovered a new charging algorithm that could completely revolutionize Li-ion battery life by doubling it.

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide ...

In today's world, algorithms are everywhere—curating our Spotify playlists, suggesting YouTube videos, and even helping us make financial decisions. But despite their prevalence and power, many ...
