ELITE-A Novel Ranking Algorithm for Social Networking Sites Using Generic Scoring Function

Social networks need to manage and control the drift of insane amount of information by filtering and ranking everything in order to ensure they are right there for users' viewing pleasure. However, the realization of social networks ranking is currently dictated by fairly straightforward optimization algorithms. Hence, there is a need for a newly enhanced and improved ranking algorithm to be formulated since users have been occasionally seeing what they should not. A composition of a generic score and a collective score that would equate to a whopping new-fangled algorithm called E.L.I.T.E. which comprises of five essential elements-Engagement-U, Lifetime, Impression, Timeframe and Engagement-O in ensuring a more accurate result for users to see more of what they care about, less of what they do not and more of who they are interested in, less of who they are not. Engagement-U is the affinity between users measured by the relationships and other related interests between them, Lifetime is a trace of users' past based on their positive, neutral and even negative interactions and actions with other users, Impression is the weight of each object determined by the number of positive responses from users, Timeframe is the timeline scoring technique in which an object naturally loses its value as time passes and Engagement-O is the attraction of users to objects measured between objects and associated interests of users.
