A team of researchers at MIT CSAIL, in collaboration with Cornell University and Microsoft, have developed STEGO, an algorithm able to identify images down to the individual pixel.

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] ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every problem in P is also in PSPACE, because fast algorithms just don’t have enough time to fill up much space in a computer’s memory.

Instead, Karatsuba showed it could be done in just O (n^1.58), a revelation that would pave the way for faster computing, cryptography, and algorithm design.

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum computers we have now are ...
