The use of algorithms to filter and present information online is increasingly shaping our everyday experience of the real world, a study argues. The use of algorithms to filter and present ...

Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation. Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. And this ...

Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it possible for ...

Computer science is a discipline of study that focuses on computation, information and automation. The pervasiveness of computing and data in the modern world gives computer science a centrality akin ...

Professor Ian Davidson's research in the Department of Computer Science focuses on making artificial intelligence systems 'fair' and trustworthy. (Graphic by Bangon Pitipong via Getty Images) In 2017, ...

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 ...

You watch hundreds of hours of television, they call you a lazy slob. A computer does it, and it's a technological success story. The algorithm uses an artificial intelligence technique called "deep ...

A 20-year-old algorithm that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer. Simon’s algorithm, proposed by computer scientist ...

People may be biased, even without realizing it, but computer programs shouldn’t have any reason to discriminate against black patients when predicting their healthcare needs. Right? Wrong, new ...
