Algorithms and flowcharts are two tools a software developer uses when creating new programs. An algorithm is a step-by-step recipe for processing data; ...

A flowchart’s simplicity and its ability to present an algorithm’s control flow visually (so that it’s is easy to follow) are its major advantages. Flowcharts also have several disadvantages ...

For example, where does following one path, as opposed to another, take the program? Flowcharts follow an international standard - it is easy for any flowchart user to pick up a diagram and ...

Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence advancements and applications you hear about. (For more background, check out our first flowchart ...

In an article on Domingos’ Master Algorithm, Slate’s David Auerbach notes that “even within computer science, machine learning is notably opaque.” But it’s also increasingly central to ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...
