Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Algorithms are currently used to assist in a wide array of health care decisions. Despite the general utility of these health care algorithms, there is growing recognition that they may lead to ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study shows how ...

Artificial intelligence algorithms are everywhere in healthcare. They sort through patients’ data to predict who will develop medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes, they help doctors ...

The duel is age-old: on one side, cold, methodical and exhaustive ‘calculation’; on the other, the decision-maker’s dazzling intuition, that often indefinable ‘flair’. Since the advent of Big Data ...

If you've ever been stuck in an endlessly time-wasting automated telephone tree ("Press One for…") you know the limits of pre-programmed decision-making systems. Somebody must have thought this was a ...
