Which of the following is the correct name for Facebook's ranking algorithm?

  • Facebook uses an algorithm called the EdgeRank algorithm to determine which posts appear in each user's News Feed.
  • EdgeRank is an algorithm that uses three factors to determine the relevance of a post: Affinity, weight, and time decay.
  • Affinity: The more interactions a user has with a post, the higher the affinity score.
  • Weight: Some types of interactions are considered more valuable than others. For example, a comment is considered more valuable than a like.
  • Time decay: As time passes, the relevance of a post decreases.
  • The algorithm uses these three factors to determine the relevance of a post and then orders the posts in a user's News Feed based on their relevance.
