Every programmer is faced with a double challenge. There is, on the one hand, a need to master some programming language to overcome the technical hurdle of conveying our intentions to a machine that ...

In today's rapidly developing technology landscape, programming is like a magical key that can open the door to a digital ...

Traditional algorithms power complicated computational tools like machine learning. A new approach, called algorithms with predictions, uses the power of machine learning to improve algorithms.

How should we measure the accuracy of predictions? If the weather forecast calls for a 10% chance of rain, and it rains, was that a bad forecast? How would you explain what a "good forecast" is to a ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

If you are a certain age, your first programming language was almost certainly BASIC. You probably at least saw the famous book by Ahl, titled BASIC Computer Games or 101 BASIC Computer Games. The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the broad intersection of data and society. As livestreams of the Notre Dame fire proliferated yesterday, a new wave ...

Imagine you're a hedge-fund manager who's trying to gain an edge. To maximize returns, you decide to install the latest technology that allows a computer to interpret the changing winds of the market ...
