The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Algorithms have become ubiquitous. They optimize our commutes, process payments, and coordinate the flow of internet traffic. It seems ...

An international research team has proposed use of a modified version of the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) to help PV arrays achieve an improved yield under partial shading conditions. The TSA is an ...

Neural prostheses have recently shown considerable promise in proof-of-concept animal experiments 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and in human clinical trials 10,11,12,13 for partially restoring motor output in ...

That question in the headline was the challenge posed by a group of open knowledge junkies in Germany who wanted to understand how a person’s Schufa was calculated. Schufa is a credit bureau that ...

Vincent Violago and Nikko Quevada discuss the various types of bias in machine learning algorithms and the data used to train the algorithms. They also analyse patents directed to bias mitigation, as ...
