What is the ranking algorithm in AI search?
A ranking algorithm in AI search is used to order items in a dataset according to specific criteria. In the context of search engines, ranking algorithms determine which web pages are most relevant to a user's search query. These algorithms can be categorized into two main types:
Deterministic ranking algorithms produce a fixed order of items regardless of input data. An example is the rank-by-feature algorithm, where items are ranked based on their feature values.
Probabilistic ranking algorithms: These may vary the order of items depending on input data. Examples include rank-by-confidence and Bayesian spam filters.
