A butterfly flaps its wings and weeks later a tornado touches down halfway around the world. Mathematician Edward Lorenz used the butterfly effect to explain chaos theory in the 1960s. Now, decades ...

There are a lot of different terms that are connected to the data field: artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural nets, and deep learning. But do you know the difference between them? Each ...

When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm’s output matches reality.

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Remember when finding information online meant typing exact keywords and hoping for the best? When search engines couldn’t tell the difference between “apple” the fruit and “Apple” the tech giant? How ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are already a common staple of battery research. Now, they can be paired with a simple algorithm to enable better prediction of lithium metal battery ...
