Our group submitted: AlgoBeat - the compendium of publicly significant algorithms.
The TL;DR version: pioneer a system of algorithmic accountability by devising tools that help journalists reverse-engineer algorithms used across media and tech companies, especially those used to curate, filter and score content.
