It is winter, the typical time for colds. What if you could simulate how the disease may spread? At the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz, Julia Klein, a doctoral student in computer science, and colleagues investigated how using strict, rule-based methods can help better estimate the parameters for Markov chains. The findings are published in the journal PLOS ONE.It is winter, the typical time for colds. What if you could simulate how the disease may spread?

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that helps computer systems predict future data patterns and optimize how information gets stored. They found these predictions could provide up to a 40% speed boost on real-world data sets.Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that helps computer systems predict future data patterns and optimize how information gets stored.

If we train artificial intelligence (AI) systems on biased data, they can, in turn, make biased judgments that affect hiring decisions, loan applications, and welfare benefits—to name just a few real-world implications. With this fast-developing technology potentially causing life-changing consequences, how can we make sure that humans train AI systems on data that reflects sound ethical principles?If we train artificial intelligence (AI) systems on biased data, they can, in turn, make biased judgments that affect hiring decisions, loan applications, and welfare benefits—to name just a few real-world implications.
