A new study published today in Nature has found that X’s algorithm – the hidden system or “recipe” that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order – shifts users’ political opinions in ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

This paper studies the fair influence maximization problem with efficient algorithms. In particular, given a graph G, a community structure C consisting of disjoint communities, and a budget k, the ...
