I’ve been waiting for good book that introduces the concepts of data science and machine learning for a lay audience. There’s so much being reported on these subjects nowadays that I’m sure many ...

As society attempts to solve more and more problems computationally, the need for efficient algorithms to solve these problems continues to grow. Just as importantly, to be able to apply or adapt ...

In their book Algorithms to Live By, authors Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths explore how computer science algorithms can be applied to guide everyday human decisions. Their thought-provoking book ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

The Foundations of Data Structures and Algorithms specialization includes two optional preparation courses and a three-course pathway to earn admission to the Online MS in Computer Science. You must ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

The algorithms that underlie modern artificial-intelligence (AI) systems need lots of data on which to train. Much of that data comes from the open web which, unfortunately, makes the AIs susceptible ...
