Tech firms aim to trigger a robot revolution with video of humans doing housework. Gig workers are paid up to $25 an hour to ...

I am currently learning about and implementing some trajectory optimization algorithms as part of my capstone project for a master's in robotics at WPI. I am interested in integrating the algorithms I ...

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.

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other's moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers strive to advance machine intelligence by applying theories and concepts of human intelligence for learning, motivation, memory, reasoning, and more. There are ...
