The ultimate goal of science is to find the causes

behind complex phenomena

and to change systems at will

For example, one problem in molecular biology

is to understand and manipulate genes that are

the cause of complex diseases

The value of causal discovery has been known since ancient times.

Centuries ago, people asked why does the Sun shine everyday

or why things fall down

Today, we still ask all sorts of questions

such as why the universe has structure

or why some people develop diseases like cancer

What if you had a tool to reprogram cells to attack cancer?

Incredibly, all these questions are similar in essence

they are all related to a chain of cause and effect

that can be changed with access to the right information.

In this course, we will introduce a framework to properly ask and approximate, in some

sense, optimal answers to these questions from an algorithmic perspective

We will present established concepts and methods from mathematics

particularly the theories of computation and information

that can be used to unveil causes and steer systems

We will also have fun with our personal AI assistant, AlgoDyn

that will ask us questions throughout the course about everything you

wanted to know but you didn't dare to ask.

AlgoDyn will also answer some of your most pressing questions

for everybody to enjoy

We will explore surprising applications

to graphs and networks in areas such as biology

and, unlike mainstream tools in statistics and

traditional machine learning

the tools based on algorithmic complexity will

give us access to a set of methods

to find ultimate causes

to unveil generating mechanisms, and to produce

mechanistic models

fundamental in science.

For example, by using these tools, we have shown

that the human mind is

best equipped to produce randomness

when we reach the age of 25

The course will enable students

to view life from a computational perspective

and will empower them to use these powerful tools

in the form of a novel algorithmic calculus

to better understand and

manipulate complex systems

The course will have several units

the first ones devoted to the basics needed

to understand the more advanced topics.

The course itself will be self-contained

but it will be mostly devoted and driven by

results and research rather than based on a

textbook, so you will

experience the feeling of doing science.

Unlike other online courses,

here we will translate current cutting-edge

research into understandable and applicable knowledge today

We will introduce you to the use of our methods in the Wolfram Language.

You will learn to write your own code

and perform practical explorations

on networks, images, and biological data.

You will be able to apply all these ideas and methods to areas as diverse

as economics, psychology, ecology, physics,

chemistry, biology, and virtually any other area of science.

At the end of the course,

we will be giving away some

memorabilia from the London Mathematical Society,

also some books from Springer relevant to the course, and even some

Wolfram Mathematica licenses to people finishing

the course on top of their class

We hope that you enjoy our course.

Video shows Japan's massacre of Korean sex slaves during WWII - Duration: 2:16.

A horrifying video was made public for the first time on Tuesday.

It shows the scene of a 1944 massacre of Korean women by Japanese troops during World War

II.

Just a warning that you may find the following report distressing.

Lee Seung-jae has the details.

The team of South Korean scholars and researchers that discovered the video in the U.S. National

Archives and Records Administration made it public on Tuesday at an international conference

in Seoul on wartime sexual slavery.

The 19-second black-and-white clip, filmed by Allied forces of the United States and

China,... adds to existing documentary evidence that the Japanese military shot and killed

30 Korean women in the western Chinese city of Tengchong on September 13,1944.

The video shows a group of bodies abandoned together, and a Chinese soldier, who is believed

to have been at the scene to bury the bodies,... taking a sock off one of the victims.

This is the first known video evidence of the act,... since the same research team disclosed

the Allied forces' operation diary in 2016,... which revealed terms used throughout the record,...

indicating the 30 Korean women were sex slaves for the Japanese.

With the video,... experts believe there's now overwhelming evidence to prove without

question the level of Japan's wartime atrocities against the forced sex slaves.

"Confessions, documents, photos, videos,.... what more do you need?

Our job is to further piece together evidence of a time in history that's being left behind."

Despite the mounting evidence,...

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe continues to demand that South Korea move on.

He told President Moon Jae-in earlier this month,... that in diplomacy, leaders must

make decisions while resigning themselves to reproach,... adding that otherwise countries

cannot establish future-oriented relationships.

Still seeking a proper apology from the Japanese government,... the issue is increasingly urgent

for Korea,... as another former victim died earlier this month,... leaving the number

of registered Korean survivors at 30.
