Former DeepMind scientists raise $5 million for Hiverge, a startup developing AI to improve code.

The algorithm puts up a first line of defense that less common typos and savvy fraudsters can slip through. Those cases get caught by the more resource-intensive card-validation services. How does Luhn’s algorithm know when your fingers fumble? Every digit in a credit card number contributes a one-digit number to the final sum in the algorithm.

Researchers adapt model predictive control from engineering to epidemic response, balancing health and economic costs under noisy, delayed data.

AVM stands for automated valuation model, a computer algorithm that uses available data to estimate a home’s value. Different AVMs might provide different estimates for the exact same home, depending on how they’re programmed.
