Researchers adjusted their computer algorithm to the slower insulin absorption rate and on a repeat experiment blood glucose was tightly controlled in all of the subjects.

So I'm going to solve this by enumerate and check, which is an example of what's called a brute-force algorithm.

你懂的,所以我得靠列举和检验来解决这个问题,这就是我们说的穷举算法。

Cut the problem in half. Cut the problem in half again. And that's a typical characterization of a log algorithm.

是每次除以特定的量,将问题减一半，再减一半,如此，这就是对数算法的典型特性。

While still at McKinsey, Artun wrote a machine learning algorithm that clustered customers who tended to buy items similar to each other and related that cluster to various sales coverage efforts, which were the items that salespeople seemed to be most comfortable selling together, and built a matching algorithm to match salespeople with customers.

On top of that they have built a killer algorithm that supplies a stream of content that is both quirky and of very consistent quality (not easy to do).

The data looked not too troubling, but this device also had a software algorithm that automatically draws a conclusion from the data.
