If you are asked to rank the world's important authors, would that be easy for you? I guess, No. And even if you try, I assume you would be in ambivalence. So why not handle this by computers? Allen Riddell, a researcher from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, has made an algorithm through which, computers can rank the world's important authors.

Computer scientists have long used analytics to determine the 'emotions' express on Twitter. Now, the same technology has been used by two researchers to make an algorithm read novels and then compose music about them.

MIT PhD candidate Aditya Khosla has developed an algorithm which can predict how many views your photo will get in any social networking websites before you upload it. This algorithm will work with some social factors like how many friends/followers you have, the numbers of hash-tag and the length of the title of that photo.

Predicting the future, grown-up face of someone who is a child at present is a complex art. A new software seems to have made significant progress in accurately predicting the face changes of a child over the years.

Google has released a new open-source data compression algorithm dubbed 'Zobfli.' The name is inspired from a Swiss bread recipe, also called Zobfli. The search giant hopes that with this new algorithm, data transfer speeds across the web can be significantly bolstered.

The war on terror has been going on for a while now. And though U.S. has claimed many victories in it, such as the elimination of Osama bin Laden, the war seems far from over. A group of researchers from West Point have devised a new algorithm which, they claim, can help defeat the terrorists more effectively.

To predict the future is one of the most sought after power by human beings. That's why, occult sciences and astrology have developed since the inception of civilization. Now, science and technology has devised a way to predict your movements. A new algorithm developed by a team of British researcher's can tell what place you will be in the next 24…

Wikileaks has long been eyed as something that is dangerous and undesirable by the authorities, especially in US. However, the data divulged by Wikileaks is now being put to a use that may change this opinion in Washington. Researchers are using the leaked data on Wikileakes to predict the rise in insurgency in different Afghan regions.

There was a small plastic flower in a hat. Then we heard Abra-ca-dabra! 'Alakazam!' 'Ta Da!' (Magical Words used by magicians while showing magic) and the flower turns into a cute Rabbit. Isn't that interesting? Could be. But this is not magic. Distributed Robotics Laboratory (DRL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) Computer Science…

Fujitsu has developed a new technology that allows for higher signal quality in fiber optic cables over longer distances. It consumes a whole lot less energy. The 'digital signal processing algorithm' can both compensate for waveform distortion and extend the range of long-haul optical signals. The algorithm allowed Fujitsu to create small size…
