The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

Algorithms are involved in decisions ranging from trivial to significant, but people often express distrust toward them. Research suggests that educational efforts to explain how algorithms work may ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose two new ranking indexes for solution set in many-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms. A non-dominated ranking allows selection pressure to perform ...

Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve the analysis of medical image data. For example, algorithms based on deep learning can determine the location and size of tumors. This is the ...

When estimating a treatment effect from observational data, researchers encounter bias regardless of estimation methods. In this paper, we focus on a particular method of estimation called Balance ...

Works only with natural numbers (including zero). Theoretically may be improved to work with all number sets (using inner number representation and some explicit array transformations) and for Strings ...

The SEC has seven teams still alive for the playoff, but only four are probably going to make it in. While there may be some debate over if Texas is as good as the Longhorns' record indicates, we find ...
