Mathematicians may have a better way to measure agreement across different datasets. Agreement affects reproducibility, meta-analysis, and prediction to fill in missing data points. We need a more ...

Three books unpack our infatuation with prediction, and what we lose when we outsource this task to machines. To be human is, fundamentally, to be a forecaster. Occasionally a pretty good one. Trying ...

• A new AI machine learning algorithm capable of predicting planetary orbits that may one day help accelerate physics research in other areas such as renewable energy. • Strikingly, the algorithms ...

Guest column: For centuries, humans looked to seers and astrologers to determine fate. Today, we look to algorithms, and the loss of agency is the same. Carissa Véliz is an associate professor at the ...

Statisticians from across Europe teamed up to train a competition-predicting, machine learning algorithm ...

The machine learning algorithm and subsequent simulations are fueled by data, expert knowledge and statistical models ...

Data science and machine learning algorithms can help us form probabilistic forecasts of things like sporting events.
