We developed two algorithms to identify patients with stomach, lung, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancers: diagnosis only (algorithm 1), and combining diagnosis, treatments, and medicines ...

A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

For better accountability, we should shift the focus from the design of these systems to their impact. Describing a decision-making system as an “algorithm” is often a way to deflect accountability ...

When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm’s output matches reality.

Large language models have captured the news cycle, but there are many other kinds of machine learning and deep learning with many different use cases. Amid all the hype and hysteria about ChatGPT, ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Researchers from Skoltech Engineering Center's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory have developed a new method to ...
