Types of Algorithms
Arrange data in a specific order.
What are sorting algorithms?
The data provided to the algorithm.
What is input?
A set of instructions designed to solve specific problems or perform particular tasks
What is an algorithm?
Analyze real time data on traffic and road conditions and helps people find the quickest root to their destination.
What are GPS applications?
Caused by constant stimuli, this leads to a compulsive behaviour.
What is dependency?
Find a specific element within a data structure.
What are search algorithms?
The result produced by the algorithm.
What is output?
The core phase where the algorithm performs operations.
What is processing?
Looks through transaction patterns and flags unusual usage.
What is the banking sector?
Content rabbit holes cause this.
What is a distorted reality?
Algorithms that learn from data.
What are machine learning algorithms?
The step by step order that an algorithm's instructions are executed.
This kind of algorithm filters out content that viewers may not be interesting and present content that viewers will find interesting.
What are social media algorithms?
Curates a feed based on online interactions and interests.
What is social media algorithms?
Content that is spread regardless of if it is factual if it creates high engagement levels.
What is the spread of misinformation?
Group data points based on similarities.
What are clustering algorithms?
The part of an algorithm that repeats a set of instructions until a condition is met.
What is a loop?
Social media algorithms goal.
What is to prolong engagement?
Uses purchase history and interests to provide targeted ads.
What is online shopping?
This concern stems from the extensive data needed for social media algorithms.
What are privacy concerns?
This type of algorithm breaks problems into smaller subproblems and solves each one.
What is a recursive algorithm?
The algorithm must stop after a finite number of steps.
What is finiteness?
Algorithms leverage this to personalize content recommendations.
What is data?
Recommends movies and tv shows based on previous viewings.
What are streaming services?
An environment where someone only encounters beliefs or opinions that align with their own.
What is an echo chamber?
