The algorithm that started google

The video tutorial uses a bachelorette scenario to explain how endorsements work similarly to web page rankings in Google's algorithm. It introduces the concept of endorsements as links, discusses matrix representation, and explains how probabilities are used to determine ranks. The tutorial further explores advanced concepts and how the Google algorithm ranks websites based on quality links rather than quantity.

In the endorsement scenario, what is the main rule about self-endorsement?

• Only one person can endorse themselves.

• Self-endorsement is mandatory.

• Everyone can endorse themselves.

• No one can endorse themselves.

How does the endorsement scenario relate to Google's PageRank algorithm?

• Endorsements are like advertisements.

• Endorsements are like user reviews.

• Endorsements are like social media likes.

• Endorsements are like links between websites.

What does each website give out in the mathematical model of endorsements?

• No points of importance.

• One point of importance.

• Half a point of importance.

• Two points of importance.

What is the purpose of organizing numbers in a matrix in the context of endorsements?

• To create a visual representation.

• To list all possible endorsements.

• To determine the number of endorsements.

• To calculate the importance of each link.

What happens to the probabilities after many iterations of matrix multiplication?

• They become random.

• They converge to stable values.

• They increase indefinitely.

• They decrease to zero.

Why did site D rank higher than site A despite having the same number of endorsements?

• Site D had fewer links.

• Site D had a link from a higher-ranked site.

• Site D had a link from a lower-ranked site.

• Site D had more links.

What is the effect of adding a new site and links to the network?

• It has no effect on the matrix.

• It changes the dimensions of the matrix.

• It increases the rank of all sites.

• It decreases the rank of all sites.

Why is site B still ranked higher than site A even after A receives more endorsements?

• Site A has a higher quality link.

• Site A has fewer endorsements.

• Site B has a higher quality link.

• Site B has more endorsements.

What is more important than the number of links in determining a site's rank?

• The site's content.

• The quality of links.

• The number of visitors.

• The site's age.

What is a potential issue if a site is completely isolated in the network?

• It will have the highest rank.

• It will increase the rank of other sites.

• It will have a rank of zero.

• It will not affect other sites.
