Although algorithms can end up as thousands of lines of computer code, they often start as very high-level abstractions, the kind an analyst might hand to a programmer.

Basic Concepts in Algorithms focuses on paradigms and methods combining basic programming constructs as building blocks and shows their usefulness in the derivation of algorithms. The coverage of ...

It's similar in design to ImageNet, a public dataset that revolutionized the field of computer vision by labeling basic objects -- from penguins to parked cars to people -- in millions of photographs.

Yes, “algorithms” can be biased. Here’s why Op-ed: a computer scientist weighs in on the downsides of AI.
