We’ve already covered Facebook and its “neutral” algorithms in one of our previous articles. Now we’ll talk about the most recent development, which is Facebook’s announcement of an update to Trending feature. It appears that Facebook will ditch story descriptions for Trending topics, which means that this feature will now contain the headings for the … More Facebook Promises Independent Trending Algorithm

A Vancouver-based startup called Routific has developed a smart-route optimization algorithm based on the way bees search for nectar. Bees have scouts that go out to forage for nectar, which basically means they explore a lot of different types of flowers over long distance in order to find nectar. As soon as one scout discovers … More Bee-Inspired Algorithm

University College London researchers have developed a smart algorithm that is capable of taking a sample of handwritten text, analyzing it and imitating it, allowing a computer to clone a person’s handwriting. The new algorithm, or rather a machine learning tool, is called “My Text In Your Handwriting”. It works by marking up each letter … More Smart Replication Algorithm Can Accurately Clone Your Handwriting

Clickbait headlines like “The shocking truth about carrots that will change your life” and “You won’t believe what this woman did to her child” are, to put it mildly, annoying. They provide just enough ‘juicy’ information to keep the readers interested so they click on an article and visit a certain website. It’s got to … More Facebook’s New Algorithm Will Reduce Clickbaits

Scientists at the Radboud University have been working on a model that uses an algorithm that can turn drawings and sketches of faces, and even pieces of art, into photorealistic images. The new machine-vision algorithm relies on neural networks to turn hand-drawn sketches of faces into photorealistic portraits. In order to teach the algorithm to … More Algorithm Turns Face Sketches Into Photos
