The data inputs that enable modern search and recommendation systems were thought to be secure, but an algorithm developed by ...

In a sense, it sounds like that’s another facet of computational thinking that’s more relevant in the age of AI—the abstractions of statistics and probability in addition to algorithms and data ...

AI hardware needs to become more brain-like to meet the growing energy demands of real-world applications, according to researchers. In a study published in Frontiers in Science, scientists from ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...
