In 1998, I unintentionally created a racially biased artificial intelligence algorithm. There are lessons in that story that resonate even more strongly today. The systems often fail on women of color ...
But for local, mission-focused newsrooms that have spent the last decade building distribution strategies that prioritize ...
At the upcoming ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, MIT researchers are expected to report that the Wagner-Fischer algorithm cannot be improved upon because it’s as good and efficient as it gets.
Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...
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 for ...
Frances Haugen’s testimony at the Senate hearing today raised serious questions about how Facebook’s algorithms work—and echoes many findings from our previous investigation. On Sunday night, the ...
Algorithms have been used throughout the world’s civilizations to perform fundamental operations for thousands of years. However, discovering algorithms is highly challenging. Matrix multiplication is ...
