Scientists built the fastest quantum random number generator, creating truly random numbers using light from atoms, boosting ...

In all these cases, plugging in random numbers at certain steps in the algorithm helps researchers account for uncertainty about the many ways that complex processes can play out. But adding ...

The power of randomness is one of the most enduring mysteries of computation. In the last 30+ years, several algorithms have been designed which crucially use randomness and beat their deterministic ...

It’s an easy way to access a large group of basically randomized people to do studies just like this one. The full COMPAS algorithm uses 137 features to make its prediction. Dressel and Farid ...

To rob the adversary of some of its power, researchers use algorithms that include random decisions. Like most researchers, Rabani and his co-authors — Sébastien Bubeck of Microsoft Research and ...

A joint team of researchers led by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and King ...

Specific algorithms have hyperparameters that control the shape of their search. For example, a Random Forest Classifier has hyperparameters for minimum samples per leaf, max depth, minimum ...
