We know that algorithms can outperform humans across an expanding range of settings, from medical diagnosis and image recognition to crime prediction. However, an ongoing concern is the potential for ...

Static program analysis is a cornerstone in verifying, optimising, and debugging modern software systems. By evaluating code without executing it, these techniques enable early detection of defects, ...

When Google first introduced Project Loon, its internet balloons used static algorithms to change altitude and stay in position. While clever, they were limited -- Google couldn't do much to adapt to ...

Many applications solve problems that are sequential decision processes: an algorithm is given an a priori distribution over scenarios from which an unknown scenario is chosen and the task is to ...
