A revealing look at how negative biases against women of color are embedded in search engine results and algorithms Run a Google search for "black girls"-what will you find? "Big Booty" and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in "white girls," the results are radically different. The ......
Covering the essential concepts of the computer science area of algorithms, this 6-page laminated guide is part 1 of 2 guides that also serves as a reference for designing and analyzing algorithms. Guaranteed to boost grades in required algorithms courses this reference tool can continue to offer support well beyond a course. While all computing ......
The Promise and Peril of Self-Publishing in the Digital Book Era
Uncovering race, gender, and sexual biases in popular self-publishing platforms
The average reader need not go far in a bookstore before, knowingly or not, they encounter authors who started their careers by self-publishing prior to achieving commercial success. Examples include Margaret Atwood, Andy Weir, ......

What identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist it Algorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to ......

This monograph develops a unified, application-driven framework for kernel methods grounded in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and optimal transport. The primary goal is to tackle industrial cases from computational physics and mathematical finance and discuss applications across various areas, such as statistics, or artificial intelligence ......

This book is a self-contained introduction to quantum algorithms with an emphasis on quantum optimization, that is, quantum algorithms to solve optimization problems. The book provides all the tools necessary to understand the benefits and drawbacks of quantum optimization algorithms, paying particular attention to provable guarantees and ......
