Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Algorithm design strategies such as divide and conquer. Elementary techniques for analysis; asymptotic analysis, recursion equations, estimation methods, elementary combinatorial arguments.

The design of a hiring algorithm can impact diversity outcomes, according to Danielle Li, an MIT professor and co-author of the working paper.

In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimation of a general two-level structural equation model with an unbalanced design is formulated as a missing data problem by treating the latent random ...

Equity is an elusive goal for algorithms for reasons that have more to do with mathematical impossibilities than backward ideologies.

Although we evaluated the diversity of applicants selected by the algorithms, we did not incorporate any explicit diversity preferences in their design.
