Same with machine learning. For the non-computer-scientists among us, what is the Master Algorithm? The Master Algorithm is an algorithm that is capable of learning anything from data.

The algorithm, developed by computer scientist Michael Bowling and his team at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, is the first to tackle a commonly played imperfect-information game, in which ...

An algorithm proposed two decades ago that demonstrated the benefit of using quantum mechanics to solve certain problems has finally been run on a quantum computer.

The computer then read more than 700,000 electrocardiograms and echocardiogram reports obtained from 150,000 Mount Sinai Health System patients from 2003 to 2020.

We decided to put this algorithm to the test, pitting it against TIME’s photo editors. To do that, we took the 20 most liked images on TIME’s Instagram feed and had our photo editors rate each ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
