PageRank, in least in terms of transfer of wealth (only one measure, but at least it is a measure of impact on the world).

PageRank, in least in terms of transfer of wealth (only one measure, but at least it is a measure of impact on the world).
- greendestiny 18y agoIs it a good candidate as an algorithm though? The novel part of pagerank is representing hyperlinks as a connectivity matrix and using the eigenvalues as search ranking. Finding the eigenvalues themselves was not new, and the rest doesn't seem as important in an algorithmic sense.
- 10ren 18y agoI don't want you to be right, but... I think you are right. PageRank is an application of an algorithm; seeing a problem in such a way that it can be solved. I therefore instead nominate the algorithm which Pagerank applies.
