Impressively, and like any good algorithm, aside from the three elements above, YouTube does consider individual preferences when sharing videos in relation to a search query.

The Best Art algorithm also inverts our expectations of computers’ roles in our lives. He says that over the course of the project, she found that its bizarre creative briefs stimulated her ...

ML algorithms are the opposite: they can extract structure from huge datasets that no human could ever process, but generally large amounts of training data are needed for good performance. This ...

The best algorithms also run fast, are sparing in their use of computer resources such as memory, and are easy to understand and modify.

Complexity theorists sort problems into categories, called complexity classes, based on the resource demands of the best algorithms for solving them—that is, the algorithms that run fastest or ...

Algorithms are only human (well, designed by humans) but we need to trust they’ll do what they’re supposed to do. And that means we need a better way to test them.
