One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

For the first time, a deep-learning algorithm has taught itself an efficient way to solve a Rubik’s cube. A Rubik’s cube has over 43 quintillion possible combinations — but only 1 solution, which is ...

Artificial intelligence, which may at some point automate your job and can already defeat professionals in six-player poker, is now able to solve Rubik's Cube faster than any human. Researchers at the ...

The reputation of UK government technology projects - and by extension that of the government itself - has been hard hit lately, not least due to last week's A-level exam results disaster. Firstly, ...

This section examines how to take a problem, decompose it and design an algorithm to solve it. The following example has been taken from an AQA past paper. It reflects the type of question that may ...

This section examines how to take a problem, decompose it and design an algorithm to solve it. The following example has been written by BBC Bitesize consultants as a suggestion of the type of problem ...

Example of an interval cancer retrospectively detected by the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. A 48-year-old woman presented for a screening digital breast tomosynthesis examination; its ...

Care for some of the sickest Americans is decided in part by algorithm. New research shows that software guiding care for tens of millions of people systematically privileges white patients over black ...

A health care algorithm makes black patients substantially less likely than their white counterparts to receive important medical treatment. The major flaw affects millions of patients, and was just ...
