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 ...

Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...

Biomedical engineers have developed an automated process that can track and map active neurons as accurately as a human can, but in a fraction of the time. This new technique, based on a deep learning ...

Researchers have found a new approach to incorporating the larger web of relevant data for predictive modeling for individual and community health outcomes. In the U.S., the place where one was born, ...

The specificity of the Perl-based algorithms was consistently high, over 98%. Very few benign results were classified as malignant or in situ by the Perl-based algorithms; the leukemia algorithm ...

The Cleveland Clinic's population health team has found a way to deal with all of the data necessary to target at-risk and vulnerable populations. The team uses algorithms to give them a risk ...

An algorithm is a process to follow in solving a problem, often in a mathematical calculation. Most people think of algorithms (if they think of them at all) as involving complicated formulas and ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

When judges impose sentences, they consider the crimes, and how likely the offenders are to offend again. Lori Dumas has been a judge in family, and criminal courts in Philadelphia for more than a ...
