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 ...

This simple flowchart maps out an algorithm close algorithm A sequence of logical instructions for carrying out a task. In computing, algorithms are needed to design computer programs. for a ...

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.

The well-known algorithm developed by mathematicians Lester R. Ford Jr. and Delbert R. Fulkerson also stems from this period. Their algorithm efficiently solves the maximum-flow problem, which seeks ...
