Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

Twitter has been trialing an unprecedented method to find the hidden biases in its own algorithms. The social media platform has enrolled external researchers in a one-of-a-kind competition, in which ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Rare diseases are often difficult to diagnose and predicting the best course of treatment can be challenging for clinicians. Investigators from the Mahmood Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a ...

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithms is helping to accelerate brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Published in this month’s Nature Neuroscience is new research that shows ...
