If you are planning a trip through several cities and want to find the shortest route, you resort to algorithms, a well-defined sequence of deterministic operations. This article accompanies the ...

Deciding what to do in situations when there is no right answer is an unenviable challenge for any leader. Doing it in a matter of seconds under the pressure of a rapidly changing scenario — like a ...

Tyler Lacoma has spent more than 10 years testing tech and studying the latest web tool to help keep readers current. He's here for you when you need a how-to guide, explainer, review, or list of the ...

For better accountability, we should shift the focus from the design of these systems to their impact. Describing a decision-making system as an “algorithm” is often a way to deflect accountability ...

Machine learning is hard. Algorithms in a particular use case often either don't work or don't work well enough, leading to some serious debugging. And finding the perfect algorithm–the set of rules a ...
