Testing two machine learning algorithms — extra trees and gradient boosting — a team including Australian researchers set out ...

Researchers led by the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, have tested the impact of a digital clinical decision support algorithm (CDSA) called ePOCT+ on managing acutely ill children under 15 in ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

A new study of Veterans Health Administration data shows that the Care Assessment Needs (CAN) algorithm — a tool used to predict whether veterans will be hospitalized or die in the 90 days after their ...

Linear programming (LP) is a mathematical optimization technique used to maximize or minimize a linear objective function subject to a set of linear constraints. The Simplex Method, developed by ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

Digital quantification determines Americans’ quality of life. Algorithms select job applicants for interviews and employees for performance bonuses. They aggregate stories and products as we shop for ...

It’s hard to ignore the seismic shifts brought about by algorithm-driven content. Every time you scroll through your social media feed or check your favorite news app, algorithms are diligently at ...
