We use symbols and words that the computer understands to write our program. A symbol is a simple picture, like an arrow that shows us what to do. Will this algorithm help the girl get the cake?

I see it time and again in Google interviews or new-grad hires: The way data structures and algorithms — among the most important subjects in a proper computer science curriculum — are learnt ...

Computers keep getting smaller and faster. That’s been happening for decades. But almost all of them are programmed to do what humans want them to do, the way humans want them to do it, and ...

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.

Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

Over the last decade, there have been some important results demonstrating that computers can do at least a little better than that. One of the biggest recent results in computer science was a faster ...

Mesh generation is a pivotal component in computer aided design, serving as the foundation for numerical simulations and finite element analyses in diverse engineering and scientific domains.

Although large-scale general-purpose quantum computers do not yet exist, the theory of quantum algorithms has been an active area of study for over 20 years.

A special artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm created by Mount Sinai researchers was able to learn how to identify subtle changes in electrocardiograms (also known as ECGs or ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future ...
