An algorithm to extract data from free text in electronic health records may be an invaluable aid in conducting research, according to a new study in BMC Medical Informatics & Decision Making. The ...

Software may appear to operate without bias because it strictly uses computer code to reach conclusions. But a team of computer scientists has discovered a way to find out if an algorithm used for ...

Dynamic programming algorithms are a good place to start understanding what's really going on inside computational biology software. The heart of many well-known programs is a dynamic programming ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...

When reviewing job growth and salary information, it’s important to remember that actual numbers can vary due to many different factors—like years of experience in the role, industry of employment, ...

Computer scientists have shown that an important class of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could be implemented using chemical reactions. In the long term, they say, such theoretical ...

This is an advanced undergraduate course on algorithms. This course examines such topics as greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, string processing, and algorithms for ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...
