Focus on understanding and serving your audience, not trying to game the algorithm. Views are Intentional: Not every video scroll counts as a view—the intent of watching the video matters.

Now a trio of computer scientists has solved this long-standing problem. Their new algorithm, which finds the shortest paths through a graph from a given “source” node to every other node, nearly ...

The algorithm is constantly changing to understand the preferences of each and every user. Preferences and engagements inform the algorithm what a user wants to see more or less of. Understanding ...

The key insight was that every algorithm (or program) can be represented as a string of 0s and 1s. That means, as in the example of the error-checking program, that an algorithm can take the code of ...
