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 ...

Computer visual algorithms “have strong learning components, so you [can] build a very generic piece of software that can learn from example,” Perona says. The resulting bird algorithm can so far ...

One might imagine a past leader in computer science such as Donald Knuth exclaiming, “Algorithms should be deterministic.” That is, given any input, the output should be exact and known.

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get ...

Author Stephen Marche decided to write science fiction with an unlikely co-author: an algorithm. The finished product complete with footnotes explains on how the algorithm helped craft the story.

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

The region inside of NP but not inside of P contains problems that can't be solved with any known efficient algorithm. (Theoretical computer scientists use a technical definition for “efficient ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

The Graduate Diploma in Computer Science is offered to university graduates from diverse backgrounds who wish ... translation of sample high-level language constructs to ... and application of ...

Narrative Science's algorithms built the article using pitch-by-pitch game data that parents entered into an iPhone app called GameChanger. Last year the software produced nearly 400,000 accounts ...
