Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Algorithmic complexity and information theory are foundational disciplines that intersect to elucidate how data is structured, transmitted and computed. At its core, algorithmic complexity seeks to ...

Online algorithms are designed to make decisions sequentially, without complete knowledge of future inputs. In many real-world applications—from scheduling and resource allocation to network ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t floss once, you do ...

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 ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study shows how ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...
