Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation. Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. And this ...

Professor Ian Davidson's research in the Department of Computer Science focuses on making artificial intelligence systems 'fair' and trustworthy. (Graphic by Bangon Pitipong via Getty Images) In 2017, ...

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 ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

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 ...

Researchers from EPFL, AMD, and the University of Novi Sad have uncovered a long-standing inefficiency in the algorithm that ...

The exponential growth in computer processing power seen over the past 60 years may soon come to a halt. Complex systems such as those used in weather forecast, for example, require high computing ...

Strict ethical and professional standards should be applied to the development of algorithms with social impacts to recover public trust in the technology, according to a report by BCS, the Chartered ...
