The increased focus on heuristics for the approximate solution of integer programs has led to more sophisticated analysis methods for studying their performance. This paper is concerned with the worst ...

Some accelerated procedures such as the EM gradient algorithm and the Quasi-Newton EM algorithm are modified to improve the convergence rate of the basic EM algorithm. Results from simulation studies ...

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

The new study finds that algorithms used for medical decisions from cardiology to obstetrics are tainted by racial bias and adversely affect the quality of care Black patients receive.

Algorithms Are Great and All, But They Can Also Ruin Lives A single human showing explicit bias can only ever affect a finite number of people.

The Policy Machine The dangers of letting algorithms make decisions in law enforcement, welfare, and child protection.

They designed a way to quickly generate black-box adversarial examples that are capable of fooling different algorithms, including Google’s Cloud Vision API.
