To overcome the disadvantages of premature convergence and easy trapping into local optimum solutions, this paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (named NDWPSO algorithm) ...

An improved weighted least square (LS) method for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping using the estimating equation (EE) algorithm was developed recently. The method is more efficient than both the ...

For better accountability, we should shift the focus from the design of these systems to their impact. Describing a decision-making system as an “algorithm” is often a way to deflect accountability ...

Here are two stories about love in the age of the algorithm. The first one is from the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, which features a cast of science geeks trying to navigate through the non-geek ...

An algorithm is a list of rules to follow in order to complete a task or solve a problem. The steps in an algorithm need to be in the right order. Think about an algorithm for getting dressed in the ...

In statistics all predictions should come with a health warning, writes Emeritus Professor Graham Hall, while Dr Peter WH Smith points out that the human factor was missing and Prof John Gray that one ...

Spread the love“`html Nagle’s algorithm is a well-known feature within the TCP protocol designed to optimize network efficiency. However, in certain scenarios, especially in high-performance computing ...

The Artificial Potential Field (APF) algorithm has been widely used for collision avoidance on unmanned ships. However, traditional APF methods have several defects that need to be addressed. To ...
