The next step in a scientific research program may be to create your own high-end computer for your research project.In the meantime, here are some basic instructions to get started.1.Find a computer that fits your needs.The best way to learn how to create the best computer for the job is to buy one yourself.There are […]
Computer science can be a rewarding career but it can be quite a pricey one, according to a new study.According to the University of California, Berkeley’s Computational Linguistics Institute (CLI), the median annual salary for computer science majors is $66,200.While it’s the highest salary among the humanities, it’s not as high as it was in […]
Computer science is one of the most exciting fields of study in the world, with some $6 billion in potential research funding and millions of dollars in prize money.But is there any real-world application to the field of computing?A recent study from UC Berkeley’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) looked into what a […]
AUSTIN, Texas—It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything remotely related to artificial intelligence, but that hasn’t stopped the excitement.As of last week, my team had completed the first of its two major projects, a new framework that allows you to build a new artificial intelligence framework in R. We’re working on the next […]
The answer to that question is quite simple.The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $1.6 billion contract by the federal government to help fund a large-scale computer science program, the largest ever awarded by the US Department of Defense.The department announced the award in May to the university and two other schools […]
Computer Science is a skill in which we’re asked to make computer programs that perform computations at a specific speed.These algorithms can then be tested against different data sets, and a certain amount of variation is expected to be found, and this variation is referred to as the scaling factor.The problem with scalability is that […]
A UCLA computer science degree costs more than $25,000 and may not be available to graduates.The program is offered through the Office of Student Life.Its first class was in August of 2015, according to the Office.The next class will take place in the fall of 2019, and the next class in 2021.Students are expected to […]
I’ve recently spent time with the founders of a number of the world’s largest computer science organizations.The answers are illuminating. (Image credit: iStockphoto/John V.)The first question I asked, was what are the key ingredients for success in computer science?For the first time, the answer came back: focus on learning.The second question I wanted to know, was […]
The flu pandemic is over.But the question still lingers: Why can we’t get it? It’s been a tough year for medical professionals. Doctors and nurses are dealing with an unprecedented pandemic that has claimed hundreds of lives, leaving them with no other option than to give up their jobs.The pandemic has forced many hospitals and clinics to […]
When computers and robots begin to interact with each other, it’s inevitable that a lot of human behaviour will shift to their side.But in the past few decades, researchers have begun to wonder how much of this human behaviour actually depends on the computer-driven nature of our interactions with them.Computer scientists are using AI to […]
