Daniel Lokshtanov’s work explores the limits of what computers can solve, paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence and computational efficiency.

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

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 ...

Computer programming is a lot like chess. It is fairly simple to teach people the moves. But knowing how the pieces move isn’t the reason you can win. You have to understand how the pieces work ...

The recent paper studies algorithmic pricing through the lens of game theory, an interdisciplinary field at the border of ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

As algorithms play a growing role in determining content, critics say the results are often filled with biases. Women see ads for lower paying jobs and African-Americans for cheaper neighborhoods. Can ...

People may be biased, even without realizing it, but computer programs shouldn’t have any reason to discriminate against black patients when predicting their healthcare needs. Right? Wrong, new ...
