So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

There are concerns about whether or not the programmers building the savvy algorithms that run our lives are still in control of their creations.

A teenage programmer tests a set of instructions she has written to get her computer to mop the floor. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

Little wonder that most large firms use a computer program, or algorithm, when it comes to screening candidates seeking junior jobs.

Second, the program originally had the hospitals doing the proposing, giving their preferences a slight edge over students’. By 1997, the NRMP had updated the algorithm to address both these issues.
