Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...

Algorithmic graph theory and optimisation represents a critical nexus between discrete mathematics and computer science, underpinning the development of efficient methodologies for analysing complex ...

Algorithmic information theory provides a rigorous framework for quantifying the inherent complexity of data, most notably through the concept of Kolmogorov complexity. This theoretical underpinning ...

Prof. Jason Hartline was a Co-organizer for the GReece Economic and Algorithmic Theory Week (GREAT), held July 18-24, 2014 in Santa Maria Beach, Paros, Greece. Also from Northwestern, Prof. Nicole ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t floss once, you do ...
