Human social learning is increasingly occurring on online social platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok. On these platforms, algorithms exploit existing social-learning biases (i.e., towards ...

Researchers have introduced an online model-based reinforcement learning algorithm that trains robots directly from real-world interactions, bypassing extensive simulation. The approach builds a ...

For about a decade, computer engineer Kerem Çamsari employed a novel approach known as probabilistic computing. Based on probabilistic bits (p-bits), it’s used to solve an array of complex ...

In the 2022-23 academic year, colleges largely restored their in-person courses after a lengthy pandemic-era disruption. Students, however, didn’t want online- and hybrid-learning options to disappear ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...
