The new algorithm handles changes consisting of deleted edges -- for example, if the equivalent of a stretch of a road suddenly becomes inaccessible due to roadworks.

Why math is better than code Using Euclid's algorithm as an example, Dr. Lamport walked the audience through how an algorithm can be expressed precisely yet simply with mathematics.

AI to the rescue Although reinforcement learning is powerful, it offers no guarantees when an algorithm confronts a new environment. For example, an autonomous aerial vehicle (drone) trained to ...

A practice known as predictive policing is an example of an algorithm with racist implications, O’Neil said. The algorithms involved in predictive policing look at locations of arrests, series of ...

Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the architecture of the machines themselves. Using machine learning, Google might have discovered a ...
