There is curious semantic shift taking place for the meaning of the word "algorithm". It's a little surprising to see the ACM accepting the "newspaper meaning" of the word rather than the more formal "computer science meaning". The "algorithms" this paper refers to are programs based on machine learning models for the purposes of prediction and decision making.
