The third major pathway to achieving computational expansion during the reasoning phase is the actual adoption of some search technique during the reasoning process.This means that reasoning is no ...

A classification technique called Learning to Rank (LTR) is used to perfect search results based on things like actual usage patterns. LTR isn’t an algorithm unto itself. The actual ranking is ...

This is a very powerful asymmetry: Anyone can notice a change in search results, but it’s extremely difficult to prove what caused it. That gives algorithm designers immense deniability.

Who owns the patent to Google's original search algorithm? To find the answer, we used Google's search algorithm, and the answer is Stanford University.
