Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Algorithms are currently used to assist in a wide array of health care decisions. Despite the general utility of these health care algorithms, there is growing recognition that they may lead to ...

As the use of artificial intelligence has spread rapidly throughout the US health care system, concerns have been raised about racial and ethnic biases built into the algorithms that often guide ...

As life grows increasingly digital, Americans rely on algorithms in their daily decision-making—to pick their music on Pandora, guide their program choices on Netflix, and even suggest people to date ...

A panel including legal and artificial intelligence (AI) experts made the case today that algorithms used as evidence in court decisions and to influence other criminal justice decisions should be ...

Researchers uncover a single rule for how animals make spatial decisions while on the move. An international team led by researchers from the University of Konstanz and Max Planck Institute of Animal ...

The duel is age-old: on one side, cold, methodical and exhaustive ‘calculation’; on the other, the decision-maker’s dazzling intuition, that often indefinable ‘flair’. Since the advent of Big Data ...

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 ...

A former Oracle employee’s viral post claims layoffs may be driven by algorithms targeting senior roles, sparking debate on ...

If you've ever been stuck in an endlessly time-wasting automated telephone tree ("Press One for…") you know the limits of pre-programmed decision-making systems. Somebody must have thought this was a ...
