What's the difference between algorithm and paradigm?

Algorithm


Definition:

  • (20) The algorithm is an improvement over the sphere model in that it considers two distinct surfaces: an ellipsoid, to model the region of the skull on which the sensors are placed, and a sphere as the medium in which the current dipole model is considered.

Paradigm


Definition:

  • (n.) An example; a model; a pattern.
  • (n.) An example of a conjugation or declension, showing a word in all its different forms of inflection.
  • (n.) An illustration, as by a parable or fable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Comparisons between predicted and observed results of studies using different coalition paradigms show considerable empirical support for the model.
  • (2) The hypothesis that the standard acoustic startle habituation paradigm contains the elements of Pavlovian fear conditioning was tested.

  • (12) Paradigm relies heavily on social science research and analysis to help companies identify and address the specific barriers and unconscious biases that might be affecting their diversity efforts: things like anonymizing resumes so that employers can’t tell a candidate’s gender or ethnicity, or modifying a salary negotiation process that places women and minorities at a disadvantage.
  • (13) However, in a double-cue conditioning paradigm in which both command words were presented alone on different trials and reinforced, response latency was longer and puff attenuation poorer among Vs than when the UCS was signaled by a unique cue.
