Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...
Medical image registration is a common technique that involves overlaying two images, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, to compare and analyze anatomical differences in great detail. If ...
Artificial intelligence algorithms are everywhere in healthcare. They sort through patients’ data to predict who will develop medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes, they help doctors ...
How does Google's search actually work? The answer is both simple and complicated, demonstrable and secret. Every time it tweaks its algorithm, it tests the changes with a group of "search quality ...
Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...
The specificity of the Perl-based algorithms was consistently high, over 98%. Very few benign results were classified as malignant or in situ by the Perl-based algorithms; the leukemia algorithm ...
Biomedical engineers have developed an automated process that can track and map active neurons as accurately as a human can, but in a fraction of the time. This new technique, based on a deep learning ...
When judges impose sentences, they consider the crimes, and how likely the offenders are to offend again. Lori Dumas has been a judge in family, and criminal courts in Philadelphia for more than a ...
An insight into the way machines make meaning. A few years ago I used an algorithm to help me write a science fiction story. Adam Hammond, an English professor, and Julian Brooke, a computer scientist ...
