Best known is indeed meant as "most widely known" (although that may be true for only my little bubble). I think it's taught in most type theory / formal method

Best known is indeed meant as "most widely known" (although that may be true for only my little bubble). I think it's taught in most type theory / formal methods courses though. If anybody has facts for/against this claim I'd be happy to update the page.
- kevincox 6y agoIt might make sense to update to "most widely known" to avoid that source of ambiguity. You can take that sentence as ((best known) algorithm) or (best (known algorithm))
- p0llard 6y agoYeah I think you're definitely right, and Algorithm W is how HM was introduced to me when I studied it. kevincox's comment sums up my misunderstanding.
