Concepts from cryptography can be applied to speeding up algorithms Imago/Alamy
Adding a dash of encryption to key algorithms used in artificial intelligence models could – surprisingly – make them more efficient, thanks to a trick of mathematics.
Cryptography normally involves scrambling messages to make them appear random to malicious onlookers while preserving their information by hiding a pattern in the randomness. This randomness can then be unlocked with the correct key.
Now, at Tel Aviv University in Israel and at the Massachusetts Institute of…
