Credited To

This dimension names the person or team credited with an algorithm's own development. Wikipedia notes that computer science spans "theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory)," whose named contributors are often the same people credited with a given algorithm. Browsing this way collects every algorithm credited to the same author.
