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 ...

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

Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

Last year, a group of German computer scientists made waves by demonstrating a new computer algorithm that could transform any digital still image into artwork mimicking the painterly styles of ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

Robot caregivers are an example of a physical technology that replicates a tangible activity. But other examples of automation utilize large quantities of data and machine learning capabilities to ...

It’s no surprise that computers function a little bit like human minds — after all, humans built them using ourselves as models. But recent research into neural networks suggests that there is an ...

Display technology is very important for humans to acquire information. However, traditional two-dimensional (2D) display technology can only display a 2D projection image from one side of the ...

The word algorithm was derived from the name Al-Khwarizmi, a 9th-century Persian mathematician and author of The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing. But nowadays the word most ...

A rare 175 year-old book containing the world's first computer algorithm by Ada Lovelace – mathematician and daughter of Lord Byron – has been sold at auction in England for £95,000 (US$125,000). Only ...
