Artificial brainpower (AI), the study of making more brilliant and insightful human-like machines, has started an inescapable discussion of Artificial Intelligence Vs. Human Intelligence. Indeed, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms are built to make machines learn independently and make decisions just like we humans do. While trying to make more intelligent machines, …
Behavioral economics sheds light on most everyday activities and why we consume goods and services the way we do, why we make certain choices about ourselves or others, and how we decide courses of action. It is an incredible lens that exposes our inner biases and approaches to decision-making. Traditional economic research assumes that people’s …
What is a Bloom Filter? A Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure that is based on hashing. It is an extremely space-efficient data structure and is typically used to add elements to a set and test if an element is in a set. When testing if an element is present in the bloom filter, …
