The part of the sentence "algorithm serves to" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to introduce a purpose or intent behind an algorithm. For example: "The algorithm serves to identify patterns in large data sets."
The consensus-making algorithms serve to acquire viewpoint-invariant GRRs under conditions in which occlusion and object appearance changes occur.
ICANN defends a unique Internet, basically because it wants a unique space where a few private algorithms serve to dominate and collect the majority of all worldwide digital data, metadata, and revenues whether through advertising or copyrighting, more than half of it into Google's hands.
Four algorithms served to identify CNVs from the genome-wide SNP data.
While automated alignment and annotation algorithms serve to provide a good approximation of most EST identities, manual scrutiny and annotation is necessary to improve fidelity.
An ELM algorithm typically serves to address complex and ill-defined forecasting problems.
The latter consists of a modified dynamic optimization/optimal control algorithm and serves to update the offline campaign schedule in real time as well as to provide the batch process with optimal control actions to achieve maximum campaign profit/performance.
The second part of the algorithm serves essentially to compute the field radiated by interfacial acoustic sources embedded in layered structures.
The algorithm serves also to solve the equivalent problem of computing invariant tori and action-angle variables for a one-dimensional time-dependent numerically specified Hamiltonian (or a two-dimensional time-independent Hamiltonian).
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program NRPP) algorithm serves as a guide to healthcare professionals caring for neonates transitioning to extrauterine life.
