Stop for a second and look out your window. You’ll likely see a tree somewhere outside. Do you know its species? How often should it be watered? Is it healthy? Pietro Perona imagines a world where you ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Either my google-fu is lacking or there just isn't a whole lot of need for tree comparison algorithms. I can find lots of information on types of trees, but not on the algorithms to compare. I ...

A computer science professor reveals how to print a 3-D Christmas tree efficiently and with zero material waste, using the world's first algorithm for automatically decomposing a 3-D object into what ...

A commonly-held reservation when it comes to drones is their propensity to smash into things. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Lab (CSAIL) are not the only ones working on this ...
