Twitter‘s algorithm for automatically cropping images attached to tweets often doesn’t focus on the important content in them. A bother, for sure, but it seems like a minor one on the surface. However ...

When Elon Musk first proposed taking over Twitter, one the first changes he claimed he'd make would be “open-sourcing” Twitter’s algorithm. Last week, Twitter finally followed through on that promise, ...

For more than a decade, journalists and researchers have been writing about the dangers of relying on algorithms to make weighty decisions: who gets locked up, who gets a job, who gets a loan — even ...

LONDON – Twitter says it’s investigating why its picture-cropping algorithm sometimes prefers white faces to Black ones. The investigation comes after Twitter users noticed Black faces were less ...

Twitter's algorithm appeared to identify whether a tweet was authored by Elon Musk and labeled tweets as "Democrat," "Republican" or "power user." ...

New research shows that people recognize more of their biases in algorithms' decisions than they do in their own -- even when those decisions are the same. Algorithms were supposed to make our lives ...

Algorithms were supposed to make our lives easier and fairer: help us find the best job applicants, help judges impartially assess the risks of bail and bond decisions, and ensure that health care is ...

New research by Questrom’s Carey Morewedge shows that people recognize more of their biases in algorithms’ decisions than they do in their own—even when those decisions are the same Algorithms were ...

When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm's output matches reality.
