Algorithms are more and more common in hospitals and at the patients’ bedside, but they’re complex and often hard to understand. We broke down the process by which one algorithm, designed to ...

Researchers describe a machine-learning algorithm that can register brain scans and other 3D images more than 1,000 times more quickly using novel learning techniques.

Thanks to the sheer amount of data algorithms process, it might seem like they’re all-knowing mystery boxes built to reveal secrets. However, remember that an algorithm just means a set of ...

Domingo Martin has published a site ' Sha256 Algorithm Explained ' that gives a good understanding of the calculation process for generating hashes with SHA-256 , which is especially used in SHA-2.

Mark Bergstrom, executive director of the Commission on Sentencing, said compared to judges, an algorithm can process lots of data. “When we started our project, we didn’t look at a handful of cases, ...
