For example, a learning machine looks at a bunch of X-rays and the corresponding diagnoses and teaches itself how to distinguish tumors from the non-tumors. Or a robot vacuum cleaner gets stuck ...

A computer program is an algorithm, written in a computer programming language, that a computer can understand and execute.

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

For example, the photo below of Kate Middleton, Prince Williams and their baby was deemed, by EyeEm’s algorithm and TIME’s photo editors, as being passable, with an average rating of 40/100.

Researchers say they've developed an algorithm that can teach a new concept to a computer using just one example rather than thousands.
