Deep-learning algorithms suffer from a fundamental problem: They can adopt unwanted biases from the data on which they're trained. In healthcare, this can lead to bad diagnoses and care ...

Tech giants love to tout how good their computers are at identifying what’s depicted in a photograph. In 2015, deep learning algorithms designed by Google, Microsoft, and China’s Baidu superseded ...

Data is everywhere. Companies today have access to more data about their customers and products than ever before. In some cases, it’s an almost overwhelming amount of information. In fact, most ...

What is The Goertzel Algorithm? The Goertzel algorithm can perform tone detection using much less CPU horsepower than the Fast Fourier Transform, but many engineers have never heard of it. This ...

Artificial intelligence has given us algorithms capable of recognizing faces, diagnosing disease, and of course, crushing computer games. But even the smartest algorithms can sometimes behave in ...

All around us, algorithms are invisibly at work. They’re recommending music and surfacing news, finding cancerous tumors, and making self-driving cars a reality. But do people trust them? Not really, ...

In his new book, AI expert Hatim Rahman argues that algorithms have created a new labor market paradigm for workers. The rise of high-speed internet in the early 2000s transformed the global labor ...

That question in the headline was the challenge posed by a group of open knowledge junkies in Germany who wanted to understand how a person’s Schufa was calculated. Schufa is a credit bureau that ...
