RE: Programming Diary #19: Follower network strength and preparing for Open Source publication
I think it was the first post that came from the steemitblog account. There was a latter post about Steemit going open source so my suspicion is that the code didn't even hit GitHub. I haven't really looked though.
I think useful recommendations would probably require something more sophisticated (i.e. language processing & machine learning). There's a whole field of AI research that's dedicated to this purpose.
Good point. I suspect that it won't be long before an AI model can analyze a user's posts, review who they vote and comment on and subsequently find authors with a similar profile. I would say that using tags (for example) but few people use tags correctly now. Ignoring that downside, it actually feels like a fairly straightforward algorithm to do.
- Review my comments and posts.
- Review the people I've commented on (tags used, reputation, date joined, etc.) with pre-determined weightings.
- Find people who use those tags, have that reputation, etc. with a narrow to broadening search. It could target 3 months data so as not to be overwhelming.
Maybe another bug that you fixed with your work on condenser. 😉
My guess - it's hard coded on the steemit.com domain 😉
