Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Algorithm design strategies such as divide and conquer. Elementary techniques for analysis; asymptotic analysis, recursion equations, estimation methods, elementary combinatorial arguments.

The design of a hiring algorithm can impact diversity outcomes, according to Danielle Li, an MIT professor and co-author of the working paper.

Although we evaluated the diversity of applicants selected by the algorithms, we did not incorporate any explicit diversity preferences in their design.

Algorithms have the power to change the very foundations of what it means to know, to understand, and to reach decisions.

In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimation of a general two-level structural equation model with an unbalanced design is formulated as a missing data problem by treating the latent random ...

Depending on the algorithm, there are (at least) three approaches that stories about algorithms can take: Critiquing what they do and how From formulas to determine medical care to rankings that ...
