Algorithms are no different, and just like us, they are filled with bias. Algorithm – a word once confined to University mathematics departments and computer labs – now takes pride of place in every second tech news article, determines what you see online and why you received this email at 7am Australian Eastern Standard Time. So let’s go back to the start – what are algorithms in simple terms? The steps to cook something (a recipe) is an algorithm.

And though there are many forms in AI, in this post we’ll dive into the specific one we built Sentient Ascend with: evolutionary algorithms. A Primer on Evolutionary Algorithms. So, what are evolutionary algorithms? Simply put, evolutionary algorithms and more broadly the field of evolutionary computation are a type of artificial intelligence that mimics Darwinian natural selection. That’s not a particularly good algorithm.

Because I was the Acting CTO for eHarmony at it's start, I quite often get introduced to people who have an idea for a startup company that is based on some kind of matching algorithm. Each of these startup ideas has at it's core a matching algorithm that reduces the friction between a consumer and some need. An example that relates directly to creating a matching algorithm, is the classic Myers-Briggs Type Inventory.

Optimizing your website and knowing the algorithm changes expected in 2017 can help improve your page rank and business. In the past, search engines only utilized one algorithm. Now, search engines use hundreds of algorithms and machine learning like RankBrain to determine the best results for any Internet search query. Because of these changes, you should stop trying to figure out the latest algorithms and instead begin providing content that will satisfy your users.
