An algorithm to extract data from free text in electronic health records may be an invaluable aid in conducting research, according to a new study in BMC Medical Informatics & Decision Making. The ...

Software may appear to operate without bias because it strictly uses computer code to reach conclusions. But a team of computer scientists has discovered a way to find out if an algorithm used for ...

When reviewing job growth and salary information, it’s important to remember that actual numbers can vary due to many different factors—like years of experience in the role, industry of employment, ...

Computer scientists have shown that an important class of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could be implemented using chemical reactions. In the long term, they say, such theoretical ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...

This is an advanced undergraduate course on algorithms. This course examines such topics as greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, string processing, and algorithms for ...

From greedy shortcuts to dynamic programming guarantees, algorithm design techniques are the backbone of efficient problem-solving in computer science. Understanding when and how to apply each ...

For pioneering computer scientist Donald Knuth, good coding is synonymous with beautiful expression. Donald Knuth is a computer scientist who came of age with his field. During the nascent years of ...
