Although algorithms can end up as thousands of lines of computer code, they often start as very high-level abstractions, the kind an analyst might hand to a programmer.

Basic Concepts in Algorithms focuses on paradigms and methods combining basic programming constructs as building blocks and shows their usefulness in the derivation of algorithms. The coverage of ...

Machine learning and traditional algorithms are “two substantially different ways of computing, and algorithms with predictions is a way to bridge the two,” said Piotr Indyk, a computer scientist at ...

Computer science is magic: what learning a card trick can teach you about search algorithms A self-working card trick is based on the same principles as a computer algorithm. We explain why ...

It's similar in design to ImageNet, a public dataset that revolutionized the field of computer vision by labeling basic objects -- from penguins to parked cars to people -- in millions of photographs.
