Assessing the thickness of melanoma is difficult, whether done by an experienced dermatologist or a well-trained machine-learning algorithm. A study from the University of Gothenburg shows that the ...

In aviation, the black box is a source of knowledge: a receptacle of crucial data that might help investigators understand catastrophe. In technology, a black box is the absence of knowledge: a ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

Machine learning is hard. Algorithms in a particular use case often either don't work or don't work well enough, leading to some serious debugging. And finding the perfect algorithm–the set of rules a ...

New cryptographic algorithms have been created that are based on particularly hard mathematical problems. They would be virtually unbreakable, say investigators. RUB researchers have developed new ...

(CN) — Can algorithms improve human decision-making by taking out bias-prone factors like age, race and gender? It’s not a particularly new debate, but it’s one that’s gained renewed attention lately ...

Imagine a parallel universe where physicists are remunerated so handsomely that they can accumulate multitudinous assets. In this alternate universe, you naturally wish to share your good fortune, so ...

A couple hours ago, Google's Andrey Lipattsev a Search Quality Senior Strategist participated in a Q&A with Bill Slawski, Ammon Johns, Eric Enge and Anton Shulke. Andrey Lipattsev gave one of the most ...
