The team -- composed of Pablo Rodriguez Zivic, Favio Shifres and Guillermo Cecchi -- has developed an algorithm capable of identifying patterns across distinct periods of Western music based on semi-tones and notes.
About three years ago, U.S. Squash made a drastic change to its junior ranking system: Instead of being determined by an algorithm that evaluated the probabilities of matches between competitors, they now base rank on the number of points players earn at a tournament.
An algorithm tracks the velocity of FORBES content shared across the social Web.
Essentially, the results of a player's in-game choices are used to populate a post-game comic book-style story -- progress, character info, settings, dialogue, achievements and screenshots are all pumped into an algorithm alongside the results of said variables, metrics from your playthrough, and your performance therein.
So for his Ignite NYC talk, he performed a series of experiments to find just what sorts of obscuring techniques can defeat a common facial recognition algorithm known as Eigenfaces, testing an off-the-shelf implementation of that algorithm in a program called Neurotechnology.

Eventually it found a team led by Cynthia Barnhard, a logistics expert at America's Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which devised an elaborate algorithm that is now at the heart of eCourier's business, in much the same way that a mathematical formula drives Google's search engine.
Perhaps the most cunning use of an evolutionary algorithm, though, is by Dr Koza himself.
And it would show that they understand that the perception of an unbiased algorithm is just as important as having an unbiased algorithm.
Always fond of an ambitious algorithm, Google, which owns the Web's top video-sharing site, has set out to try to determine scientifically which videos are the funniest, and what makes them so.
Instead of simply scanning for keywords, Crimson's software uses an algorithm to analyze data based on a set of categories and themes determined by the user.
At the University of Sydney, in Australia, Steve Manos used an evolutionary algorithm to come up with novel patterns in a type of optical fibre that has air holes shot through its length.
Covers are an important part of our fame algorithm but their rankings do not show up on celebrity profiles.
With the help of an error correction algorithm trained users were able to reach 37 words per minute, researchers said.
If I understand the report correctly, the agencies say a mutual fund company using (gasp) an algorithm to trade dumped a bunch of sell orders on the futures market, which caused a liquidity crisis that took down the market.
Google has sought to clone the key traits of its founders through an algorithm-driven hiring questionnaire.
Finally, an algorithm was created to match the sound of the headphones to the sound of the studio as closely as possible.
Each child was tracked by the colors they were wearing, and their movement patterns were fed into a bank of computers that would use an algorithm to recognize if they were being hyperactive or unusually still, which could indicate possible autism.
All of the data is processed through an algorithm that creates our power ranking.
Basically, bitZino is deploying a cryptographic hash function (SHA256 algorithm) to create a fingerprint of an already shuffled deck.
FORBES: BitZino And The Dawn Of 'Provably Fair' Casino Gaming
The idea builds on previous work where robots learned to moved objects out of their way, and developing an algorithm that allows them to identify items, and asses its usefulness as a tool.
Messages that appear in the priority box will initially be determined by an algorithm based on such as factors as the identity of the sender, key phrases in the message and whether the mail was sent to an individual or a large group.
So while an algorithm might be able to sort out a collection of quality content like feature films, or music released by a label, or books distributed by a publisher, the shear volume of self-published books, or self-recorded music, makes the algorithmic approach less and less successful.
But two folks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have cracked the code with an algorithm they're saying predicts -- with 95 percent accuracy -- the topics that will trend in the next hour and a half.
ENGADGET: MIT prof and student discover algorithm for predicting trending Twitter topics
TubeRank is built upon an algorithm that ranks videos according to their conversation triggers and communities of interest, which is then guided by a layer of social data, including share and sentiment data, that is connected to each video.
In the first six months, the algorithm took an hour to create groups that customers liked 70% of the time.
Their technique, based on an algorithm they call P4P, could eventually offer a less controversial version of peer-to-peer file sharing, a practice that has flooded the Internet with pirated music and movies and ignited debate over what online content broadband providers should regulate.
To make sense of it all, Dunnhumby's analysts cooked up an algorithm called the rolling ball.
It does this using Sony's 'Reality Creation' algorithm, which is ironically named but which still does an excellent job of increasing sharpness without creating artifacts.
ENGADGET: This is what native 4K home cinema looks like on Sony's VPL-VW1000ES projector
Based on a recent quality check, we made an adjustment to the news feed algorithm to respond to the negative feedback signals of spam and people hiding posts.
