Informal institutional guidelines restricted the use of factor VIIa (recombinant) to patients with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors, patients with autoimmune antibodies to factor VIII ...

Yet most such problems are NP-hard; unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions. This book shows how to design approximation algorithms: efficient algorithms that find ...

RNNs, with their memory capabilities, are invaluable for tasks where temporal dependency is essential. Random Forest is a versatile ensemble algorithm that excels in both classification and regression ...

In their book Algorithms to Live By, authors Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths explore how computer science algorithms can be applied to guide everyday human decisions. Their thought-provoking ...

When Northwestern University graduate student Sino Esthappan began researching how algorithms decide who stays in jail, he expected “a story about humans versus technology.” On one side would ...

Nicole Orchard, 28, shared footage online of the unpredictable and exhausting reality of being a vent parent—one who has a child on a ventilator 24/7 because of a tracheostomy in his neck.

John Ream, who is 18 months old, can handle around 30 seconds off the ventilator before his lungs start to collapse.
