🚨People keep saying “the algorithm”… however it’s almost never ONE algorithm.
I’m going to start a short series breaking down different types of algorithms I’ve actually worked with over the years. Early on I started off with heuristic based systems then moved to classical ML methods.
Algorithms and models are not the same thing…
A model is the larger structure. Many of these algorithms can operate inside a single model, and often multiple algorithms interact, stack, or chain to produce the output people refer to as “the algorithm.”
Actually there’s an entire ecosystem.
So when people say “the algorithm is targeting me,” what they’re usually describing is the actual behavior of a system built on a combination of algorithms.
I’ll break these down piece by piece in the coming posts. Use cases as in the ones I’ve used, and why they matter.
