Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it possible for ...

A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm that integrates uncertainty directly into computational models. By embedding probabilistic constructs into conventional programming ...

If you type in words like “spider-man”, “elsa”, “hulk” or even “superheroes” into YouTube, it’s safe to assume that the majority of content the video site’s algorithm serves up is probably decent.

Last year, a group of German computer scientists made waves by demonstrating a new computer algorithm that could transform any digital still image into artwork mimicking the painterly styles of ...

A NEW breed of art has evolved. A computer program has been built that creates digital artworks using algorithms that mimic natural selection. Yasuhiro Suzuki at Nagoya University in Japan and ...

Dr. Steve Bellovin is professor of computer science at Columbia University, where he researches "networks, security, and why the two don't get along." He is the author of Thinking Security and the ...
