The use of algorithms to filter and present information online is increasingly shaping our everyday experience of the real world, a study argues.
Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation.

This site is a great example of how many free educational resources are out there on the web. It isn’t just computer science either.
For decades, computer scientists working on negative-weight graphs tried to match the speed of Dijkstra’s algorithm with similar “combinatorial” algorithms. These involve discrete operations — like ...
A new “Interview on Computer Science”. Serge Abiteboul and Christine Froidevaux interview Claude Berrou, computer engineer and electronics engineer, and a member of the French Academy of Sciences.
Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.
Systems designed to detect deepfakes -- videos that manipulate real-life footage via artificial intelligence -- can be deceived, computer scientists have shown. Researchers showed detectors can be ...
Computer algorithms — the sequences of instructions or rules computers follow to solve problems — influence many aspects of our lives, from the products we buy to the people we date and even the jobs ...
An algorithm used to inform healthcare decisions for millions of people shows significant racial bias in its predictions of the health risks of black patients.
They, therefore, cannot trust the information being supplied from their peers. “These algorithms are defined to handle random noise, they’re not crafted to handle Byzantine data,” says Tygar.
