RL, Blundell noted, is basically a graph algorithm. It’s a dynamic programming update and it’s closely related to a shortest path algorithm — it’s like an online shortest path algorithm.

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

Before BLAST, alignment programs used dynamic programming algorithms, such as the Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman algorithms, that required long processing times and the use of supercomputers ...

Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model that can identify patterns or make predictions from new data. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem.

An algorithm used to inform healthcare decisions for millions of people shows significant racial bias in its predictions of the health risks of black patients.

The developer says users can program algorithms faster than with C, C++, or Fortran. Tools include an editor for editing and debugging, and a profiler, which records the time spent executing each ...

Algorithms are now responsible for about 70 per cent of all trades in U.S. equities. They execute trades at speeds and volumes that were, until recently, simply unimaginable.
