  • Stenton, who had initiated the endeavor, called it a lark, something they were doing, first of all, to see if it could be done—though there seemed to be no doubt, given the easy algorithms involved—and only secondarily for any scientific benefit.†   (source)
  • You know who did their algorithms?†   (source)
  • Walking through San Francisco, or Oakland, or San Jose, or any city, really, seemed more and more like a Third World experience, with unnecessary filth, and unnecessary strife and unnecessary errors and inefficiencies—on any city block, a thousand problems correctible through simple enough algorithms and the application of available technology and willing members of the digital community.†   (source)

  • In addition to detecting cheaters, the algorithm could also identify the best teachers in the school system.†   (source)
  • Rather, he wanted to make sure that the teachers identified by the algorithm as cheaters were truly cheating—and then do something about it.†   (source)
  • Then they would use Goldman's algorithm, and the diagnosis and outcome of every patient treated under the two systems would be compared.†   (source)

  • He took Goldman's algorithm, presented it to the doctors in the Cook County ED and the doctors in the Department of Medicine, and announced that he was holding a bake-off.†   (source)
  • The algorithm frees doctors to attend to all of the other decisions that need to be made in the heat of the moment: If the patient isn't having a heart attack, what is wrong with him?†   (source)
  • He only had the resources to retest 120 classrooms, however, so he asked the creators of the cheating algorithm to help choose which classrooms to test.†   (source)
  • This is a conservative estimate, since the algorithm was able to identify only the most egregious form of cheating—in which teachers systematically changed students' answers—and not the many subtler ways a teacher might cheat.†   (source)
  • The algorithm is a rule that protects the doctors from being swamped with too much information—the same way that the rule of agreement protects improv actors when they get up onstage.†   (source)
  • In 2001, Cook County Hospital became one of the first medical institutions in the country to devote itself full-time to the Goldman algorithm for chest pain, and if you walk into the Cook County ER, you'll see a copy of the heart attack decision tree posted on the wall.†   (source)
  • Furthermore, the algorithm would seek out a classroom full of students who performed far better than their past scores would have predicted and who then went on to score significantly lower the following year.†   (source)
