Machine learning is all about getting computers to "understand" new concepts, but it's still a pretty inefficient process, often requiring hundreds of examples for training. That may soon change ...

Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores to predict a student’s college grades.

A team of researchers from MIT have developed a new algorithm that allows computers and humans to process information to enable better decision-making.The researchers stated that computers are ...

Most algorithm-based funds in the UK are easier to fathom and have the advantage that they can be cheaper - in terms of annual charges - than traditional funds run by investment managers.

An algorithm proposed two decades ago that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer.

Quantum computers solve difficult problems efficiently using quantum gates and quantum algorithms. Shor's algorithm is an example of a quantum algorithm that is more efficient than classical ...

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.

Learn how we predict the outcome of algorithms in Bitesize KS3 Computer Science.
