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 ...

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 ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

The Foundations of Data Structures and Algorithms specialization includes two optional preparation courses and a three-course pathway to earn admission to the Online MS in Computer Science. You must ...

Doctors use algorithms to help guide their medical care, such as whether a patient should get breast cancer screening or whether they should undergo a cesarean section to give birth — but many of ...

Strict ethical and professional standards should be applied to the development of algorithms with social impacts to recover public trust in the technology, according to a report by BCS, the Chartered ...
