Un algorithme en boîte noire est un algorithme pour lequel un utilisateur ne peut simplement que proposer des données en entrée et observer les sorties qui résultent à priori causalement de ces entrées. [...] A priori, car un algorithme peut tout à fait répondre par une valeur fixe ou aléatoire quelles que soient ses entrées. 1, record 1, French, - algorithme%20en%20bo%C3%AEte%20noire
