Create divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. Understand intractable problems, P vs NP and the use of integer programming solvers to tackle some of these problems.

The U.K. government is developing a program that seeks to identify murderers before they commit the ultimate crime. The real-world application of this type of tool will have devastating consequences.

Citizens’ Assemblies Are Upgrading Democracy: Fair Algorithms Are Part of the Program Math helps to randomly select the fairest citizens’ assemblies since antiquity By Ariel Procaccia Montse ...

A majority opposes using algorithms in areas like criminal justice, hiring, and credit scoring. But if the goal is to reduce discrimination, the majority is wrong.

A study published Thursday in Science has found that a health care risk-prediction algorithm, a major example of tools used on more than 200 million people in the U.S., demonstrated racial bias ...

This is the Nobel Prize-winning algorithm that assigns graduating medical students to residency programs.

That’s a tremendous responsibility, given that don’t yet fully understand why adversarial examples cause deep learning algorithms to go haywire. There are some hypotheses, but nothing ...

An algorithm commonly used by hospitals and other health systems to predict which patients are most likely to need follow-up care classified white patients overall as being more ill than black ...

Algorithms determine Google’s search results and suggestions. Some of Google’s algorithmic fails are more egregious than others, and sometimes Google steps in, but it often doesn’t.

Care for some of the sickest Americans is decided in part by algorithm. New research shows that software guiding care for tens of millions of people systematically privileges white patients over ...
