Honesty is the best policy
How purposeful design can make school choice assignment strategy-proof
How to reconstruct a graph
If I give you a set of nodes, plus a way to find the distance between two nodes, how can you find all connections between these nodes as efficiently as possible?
No more detention: how to arrive on time with math
Getting to class on time isn't hard, if you leave on time and know the fastest route. But what’s the fastest route when the hallways are crowded? For their final high school project, Dylan and Tobias worked on finding the most efficient ways to navigate school during peak hours.
Liver transplant allocation is biased against females. How to rectify this?
The allocation of livers from organ donors to patients puts females at a disadvantage. A remedy was put into use in 2023, based on a common statistical model. This is expected to reduce sex disparity, but is not expected to solve the problem fully. Why? And what else can we do?
What if the nodes in a network have feelings?
How can fairness be incorporated in algorithms that make decisions about people?
Ding-Dong! Finally, your delivery driver is at your door
Elisabeth already has an idea in mind: she would like to find the fastest possible route that goes to each address exactly once before finally returning to the station. This task is a well-known mathematical problem, namely the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP)! How can she solve it?
Could the Future of Artificial Intelligence be Self-Organising?
One of the main building blocks of modern AI-tools are artificial neural networks, abstract models inspired by the structure and functions of biological neural networks which enable machines to "learn". In this article, I will discuss some thoughts on this topic.
Dispatching experts to do maintenance
Using data analytic techniques and Artificial Intelligence you can analyse data from hospitals and discover hidden patterns that allow us to often predict (within a margin of accuracy) failures before they happen. When a failure is predicted, we issue an alert and we plan for preventive maintenance by an expert engineer.
Why packing your car can be so frustrating.
Are you one of those people who always seems to pack just a bit too much for your car to handle when packing for a vacation? Then you should have a look at this article!
The Versatility of Reinforcement Learning
After a busy week at work, Reinforcement Learning slowly sinks into his leather armchair. A smoky aroma fills the room to the tune of a crackling fire. With a deep gaze fixed on the flames dancing in the fireplace, he leisurely takes a sip of red wine.
