Understanding algorithms

- [Instructor] Algorithm design. … Taking a step back, … we've spoken generally about what algorithms are … and some elements of why it's important … that they're responsible. … But what exactly is a process of creating an algorithm … and what exact steps are needed to make it responsible? … Every project can be seen as a set of winding roads, … and in a way, it follows a similar process, … a familiar process, … but they're all different in their own way. … I'll go through a number of different steps … along an algorithm design process … and how you can add responsible elements. … How can we follow a responsible process? … How can the current process change? … Current process that I have starts with a purpose. … This is usually a business case or a driving reason … why you'd need an automated decision system. … This can take the form of a living document … or a shared plan between a project team. … The second step involves sampling of the data … to build the system. … A number of people believe that this …
