Fantasy sports went a long way toward developing the sabermetrics formulas used not only by oddsmakers but general managers in hiring players.… — Douglas Rushkoff Copy Share Image
I described to my patent lawyer our new algorithm-that I was hoping to patent- about detecting clustering, that involved three probabilities α… — Jennifer Tour Chayes Copy Share Image
In deep learning, the algorithms we use now are versions of the algorithms we were developing in the 1980s, the 1990s. People… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Randomness has an incredibly powerful place in our culture. If you think about it, you can see it driving the algorithms that… — DJ Spooky Copy Share Image
It is cheaper to pay mathematicians and computer scientists to design algorithms that will eliminate webspamming, rather than to pay lawyers to… — Jennifer Tour Chayes Copy Share Image
“Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding” — Anonymous Copy Share Image
The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly.… — Anonymous Copy Share Image
Many [business] people focus on what is static, black and white. Yet great algorithms can be rewritten. A business process can be… — Gurbaksh Chahal Copy Share Image
We don't let a car company just throw out a car and start driving it around without checking that the wheels are… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
We have a lot of argument about laws but none of it solves the problem. Let's examine what happened, why did we… — Carly Fiorina Copy Share Image
Once you succeed in writing the programs for [these] complicated algorithms, they usually run extremely fast. The computer doesn't need to understand… — Robert Tarjan Copy Share Image
Nothing will ever replace the experience of wandering haphazardly through a great bookstore, no matter how many algorithms are developed to find… — Dominique Browning Copy Share Image
Obviously the more transparency we have as auditors, the more we can get, but the main goal is to understand important characteristics… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
Trees and bones are constantly reforming themselves along lines of stress. This algorithm has been put into a software program that's now… — Janine Benyus Copy Share Image
I know how models are built, because I build them myself, so I know that I'm embedding my values into every single… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
Computing should be taught as a rigorous - but fun - discipline covering topics like programming, database structures, and algorithms. That doesn't… — Geoff Mulgan Copy Share Image
The most important goal I had in mind was to convince people to stop blindly trusting algorithms and assuming that they are… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
The problem with digital architecture is that an algorithm can produce endless variations, so an architect has many choices. — Peter Eisenman Copy Share Image
Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit. It’s less predictable, it’s more fun, and it comes without a 30-day, money-back guarantee. — Steve McConnell Copy Share Image
You cannot invent an algorithm that is as good at recommending books as a good bookseller. — John Green Copy Share Image
In popular books and articles, information technology writer Carr has worried over the ways that algorithms like those employed by Google are… — Nicholas G. Carr Copy Share Image
Why is an accountant who knows the regulation and codes and takes advantage of tax loopholes that save you thousands of dollars… — Michael Gray Copy Share Image
There's a whole company called Palantir that does nothing but derive and create algorithms riches to search through big data. We're not… — Carly Fiorina Copy Share Image
