Computers have a reputation for being able to churn through numbers with limited intuition. Now, though, an algorithm developed by researchers at MIT to find predictive patterns in unfamiliar data has performed better than two-thirds of human teams.
The researchers, from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, are trying to take some of the strain out of analyzing large data sets, by creating algorithms that can identify interesting features hidden in gigantic pools of figures.
