A new algorithm for uncovering causality in complex systems.

January 19, 2025

Created by a team of MIT engineers, “The algorithm determines the specific nature of that relationship, such as whether two variables are synergistic—meaning one variable only influences another if it is paired with a second variable—or redundant, such that a […]

The Pentagon is working on an algorithm to detect Covid early.

March 13, 2022

Preliminary results of the study, “show the algorithm’s projected accuracy is about 82 percent with a false positive rate of 11 percent over a 14-day period.” This is one of a few groups working on early detection with wearables. What […]

Boston saved $5M annually routing school buses with an algorithm

August 18, 2019

Before that, they were using a team of 10 human route planners. Interestingly, no jobs were lost during the transition. | learn more

Algorithm helps robot adapt like animals. 

August 27, 2017

The more complex robots get, the more ways they can be unpredictably damaged. Animals have a built-in adaption system (i.e. if you can’t walk on one leg, you might figure out how to hop on the other or use crutches). […]
