​
Official TikTok blog post describing with very limited detail how it works: How TikTok recommends videos #ForYou
​
Papers:
- An Empirical Investigation of Personalization Factors on TikTok (2022) - sock puppet methodology to identify the parameters and their strength in influencing the algo
- Analysis on the “Douyin (Tiktok) Mania” Phenomenon Based on Recommendation Algorithms (2021)
- Trick and Please. A Mixed-Method Study On User Assumptions About the TikTok Algorithm (2021)
- Leveraging Rights of Data Subjects for Social Media Analysis: Studying TikTok via Data Donations (2023) - may be of interest
​
WSJ did a video on them trying to reverse engineer the algorithm, not too technical though Investigation: How TikTok's Algorithm Figures Out Your Deepest Desires
