Algorithms allow us to make rational decisions in an organized manner, preventing us from burdening our minds with low-quality, on-the fly decision making. Everybody can do with a bit of computer ...

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

Known today as Karatsuba’s Algorithm, this breakthrough challenged the long-held belief that multiplying two n-digit numbers required n² steps.

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.

There is no way to do this on a classical computer. However, you can translate this Hamiltonian into a quantum circuit.” [Related: IBM’s latest quantum chip breaks the elusive 100-qubit barrier] ...

Young Williams was hooked. “I was writing programs to myself, on paper, to be run on a future computer,” he said. “My parents didn’t really know what to do with me.” ...

Christopher Kanan is building algorithms that can continuously learn over time — the way we do.
