It’s one thing when companies use algorithms to personalize ads for shoes or tag you in a Facebook photo—it’s quite another when algorithms get to decide whether to release you on bail or send you to prison. While many have voiced concerns about using algorithms to inform such high-stakes decisions, few [...]
Philips devs are coding algorithms that help detect cancer accurately. One in three people are expected to develop cancer during their lifetime. With the help of AI-based algorithms, pathologists will be able to deliver better and faster diagnoses. New cancer cases will increase by almost 70% over the next two decades, from 14 million in 2012 to [...]
Designing an app in Pseudocode. Pseudocode, a notation resembling a simplified programming language, used in program design. Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer program or other algorithm. It uses the structural conventions of a normal programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading, [...]
Abstract Methods of teaching programming : Programming methodology is one of the oldest fields of IS education, and thus various methods have evolved for its teaching. While some of them could be used effectively in primary or secondary education, others are more suited for students in higher education. The methods themselves determine the structure [...]
