Adaptive systems were supposed to simplify decision-making. Instead of hard-coded rules, engineers built models that could learn from data, respond to change, and improve over time. That promise still ...

Online algorithms are designed to make decisions sequentially, without complete knowledge of future inputs. In many real-world applications—from scheduling and resource allocation to network ...

A recent article reports that an Oracle patent on a fast sorting method has expired, allowing open source databases to use it freely. Mark Callaghan, the inventor behind the sorting algorithm, shows ...

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 ...

During my time working with tech companies navigating the early boom of AI adoption, I noticed a strange duality. Developers proudly open-sourced breakthrough models one week—and raced to patent their ...

Researchers develop a lightweight algorithm designed to reorganise network connections to enable secure, low-latency data ...
