When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

While the mathematical ingredients of Google's most-secret secret sauce are closely guarded, the algorithm's broad approach -- the quantification and prioritization of links to determine a ...

The first part of this article presents the Monte Carlo implementation of the E step of the EM algorithm. Given the current guess to the maximizer of the posterior distribution, latent data patterns ...
