The Twitter Ranking Algorithm

  • Still inferior to my algorithm: populate an array of tweets by people you follow and sort chronologically with various customizable filters. My paper is still pending, but it will show that the technique leads to a large decrease in fake news, insurrections, polarization, and rage on the internet

  • The challenge with publishing the algorithm in the hopes of increased transparency and a broader understanding is that it is still impenetrably complicated to the average user.

    Even with an open source algorithm the results on the feed for an individual may still seem opaque based on the input data and the metadata for that input data (not all of which would necessarily be visible).

    Wouldn't it be better to have some explanation along the lines of "Why am I seeing this ad?" which is presumably more immediately useful to a larger audience.

  • Incredible - Musk wins again by getting the Twitter Algorithm published 18 months ago.
