When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm's output matches reality.

The same personalized algorithms that deliver online content based on your previous choices on social media sites like YouTube also impair learning, a new study suggests. Researchers found that when ...

The Portland City Council will vote as soon as next week on a proposed ban on the use of algorithms to set residential rents. Following a tense debate Wednesday, Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney ...

Like humans, artificial intelligence learns by trial and error, but traditionally, it requires humans to set the ball rolling by designing the algorithms and rules that govern the learning process.

In an era dominated by social media, misinformation has become an all too familiar foe, infiltrating our feeds and sowing seeds of doubt and confusion. With more than half of social media users across ...

Algorithms will not simply contribute to science; they will reorganize it. We sketch how science will look in the near future. Notably, algorithms will formalize crucial parts of science that ...

The 1.0 version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, issued way back in 1996, only defined three HTTP verbs: GET, POST and HEAD. The most commonly used HTTP method is GET. The purpose of the GET method ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

During my time working with tech companies navigating the early boom of AI adoption, I noticed a strange duality. Developers proudly open-sourced breakthrough models one week—and raced to patent their ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...
