Thank you for printing the lively article “A Storied Approach to Operations Research” (Notes from Academe, June 14), about Gene Woolsey of the Colorado School of Mines. ... I was especially struck by ...

Supervised learning algorithms learn from labeled data, where the desired output is known. These algorithms aim to build a model that can predict the output for new, unseen input data. Let’s take a ...

An artificial-intelligence algorithm that discovers its own way to learn achieves state-of-the-art performance, including on some tasks it had never encountered before. Joel Lehman is at Lila Sciences ...

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which explores how to computationally simulate (or surpass) humanlike intelligence. While some AI techniques (such as expert systems) use ...
