Data science and machine learning algorithms can help us form probabilistic forecasts of things like sporting events.

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

Many aspects of modern applied research rely on a crucial algorithm called gradient descent. This is a procedure generally used for finding the largest or smallest values of a particular mathematical ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...

Dr. Michael Goldwasser joined the faculty at Saint Louis University in 2003, having previously been a faculty member at Loyola University in Chicago and a postdoc at Princeton University. He served as ...

Finding an internship or job can be tough. Having the right mentor to show the way can make all the difference. That’s what inspired Northwestern Engineering Computer Science students Caryl Henry (’21 ...

Computer scientists at UC Davis, Maynooth University and Caltech have created DNA molecules that can self-assemble by carrying out a Boolean logic computation. Highlighted in green is the ...

Nearly a century ago, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger called attention to a quirk of the quantum world that has fascinated and vexed researchers ever since. When quantum particles such as atoms ...

If you are looking to pursue a career in computer science, you may have wondered what, if any, discussion exists around ethics in this field. The good news is that computer science ethics is an ...
