Often, when there’s talk about algorithms and journalism, the focus is on how to use algorithms to help publishers share content better and make more money. There’s the unending debate, for example, ...

Building a chemical plant. Developing an airline route. Modeling the shapes of proteins. Each of these actions requires optimization algorithms – the combination of math and theory translated into ...

Scientists have prototyped a new method for "rationally engineering" enzymes to deliver improved performance. They have devised an algorithm, which takes into account an enzyme's evolutionary history, ...

Optimization algorithms lie at the heart of modern engineering, enabling robust solutions across structures, energy systems, transportation networks and automated design. By framing engineering design ...

Optimization algorithms, which try to find the minimum values of mathematical functions, are everywhere in engineering. Among other things, they're used to evaluate design tradeoffs, to assess control ...

In the age of fake news and radicalization, the real enemy is not content itself. It's the algorithm pushing that content up to the top of users' 'recommended' lists. That's according to software ...
