A black-box algorithm is an algorithm for which a user can only propose data as input and observe the outputs that result a priori causally from these inputs.... a priori, because an algorithm can quite possibly respond with a fixed or random value regardless of its inputs. 3, record 1, English, - black%2Dbox%20algorithm
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In a challenge for medical researchers and professionals, machine-learning techniques are typically opaque. They provide black-box algorithms for prediction or recommendation but do not explain or justify those results. 4, record 1, English, - black%2Dbox%20algorithm

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

[A] quantum algorithm that finds with high probability the unique input to a black box function that produces a particular output value, using just O(square root of N) evaluations of the function, where N is the size of the function's domain. 2, record 2, English, - Grover%26rsquo%3Bs%20algorithm
