Topic: recommendation algorithms

The Science Show reviews a new approach to detecting and measuring concussion, a repurposed satellite for mapping the Universe, intervention to conserve a potentially sterile native plant, AI support for people with dyslexia, and how recommendation algorithms influence reading choices.

Ewin Tang discusses dequantization: designing classical algorithms inspired by proposed quantum advantages. The conversation starts with recommendation algorithms and considers the continuing contest between quantum and classical computation, the role of failure in research and how to evaluate the practical promises made for quantum machines.
