Alphabet Inc.’s DeepMind unit today detailed AlphaTensor, an artificial intelligence system capable of discovering new algorithms that can be used to solve mathematical problems. DeepMind researchers ...

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 for ...

Delivery robots made by companies such as Starship Technologies and Kiwibot autonomously make their way along city streets and through neighborhoods. Under the hood, these robots—like most mobile ...

Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the University of Washington have developed an algorithm to locate fake users on many social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter. The ...

One of the major challenges in microbiome science has been distinguishing what is a potential environmental contaminant from a true, bona fide microbiome signal. Challenges associated with metagenomic ...

Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have developed ALFA-K, a new tool that they say can predict how cancer cells survive and compete. This new algorithm offers a potential roadmap for more effective, ...

After developing a wearable device that can automatically detect seizures in people with epilepsy and immediately notify their caregivers, Empatica is planning to take the technology even further. The ...

Over the last four years, Professor Min Chen has been working on an algorithm that could transform the medical field — one that could quickly diagnose strokes. “It’s more like human and machine ...

These days, much of our lives seem dictated by algorithms. Our streaming services decide which movies and TV shows would be a good fit for us based on our previous viewing history and apparent tastes.
