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 ...

Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm that integrates uncertainty directly into computational models. By embedding probabilistic constructs into conventional programming ...

Machine learning is hard. Algorithms in a particular use case often either don't work or don't work well enough, leading to some serious debugging. And finding the perfect algorithm–the set of rules a ...

“To me, an algorithm is any piece of automated code that accepts some number of variables and data, [then] uses those variables and data to make decisions. But that’s the boring computer science ...

Dynamic programming (DP) algorithms have become indispensable in computational biology, addressing problems that range from sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference to RNA secondary structure ...
