And ask the students at your destination what you’ll need. Ideally some with a similar climate background to your own (a Minnesotan may have very different ideas about necessary clothing than someone who grew up substantially closer to the equator). https://t.co/pPJeybIhtF 2022-03-19 14:47:07 The idea that there shouldn’t be social consequences for speech is wild and I don’t think folks are fully thinking through what they say. Cutting someone out of your life for spewing racism or abuse or that thing they said about your family is pretty standard free association. https://t.co/AqkIlp5A1O 2022-03-19 04:39:25 Slightly more context: a lot of shows these days are “there is a world-ending mystery and lots of death and we must solve it with violence”, and we’d like more “fun”. We’ve loved Elementary, The West Wing, The Good Place, Eureka, Warehouse 13, a number of others. 2022-03-19 04:36:38 @karlhigley @jdekstrand We’ll give Orphan Black try sometime here — I’ve watched the first episode, and it didn’t hook me right away, but enough people praise it that it seems worth a go. 2022-03-19 04:34:12 @lizbon It isn’t strict — it’s just that so many shows are We Must Solve The World-Ending Mystery with Guns and Violence these days, and we’re looking for something maybe a bit more episodic and “fun”. (And WoT is slightly on the gruesome side for a joint watch.) 2022-03-19 04:13:24 @karlhigley I’m watching both WoT and The Expanse myself but neither is @jdekstrand’s thing. 2022-03-19 03:54:34 Now that we finished Voyager, any suggestions for an hour-slot serious-ish show that isn’t all Dark and End of the World and Violent? Preferably on Paramount+ or Amazon Prime, but we’ll reactivate another service sometime. 2022-03-19 03:34:45 Reassessment: as an episode on its own, it’s a decent Trek movie. But in the context of the show it still feels very unearned. Unlike, say, DS9’s hard buildup, Enterprise’s leap-forward conclusion, or TNG’s closure of the loop. 2022-03-19 01:58:20 We’ll see if I feel differently this time, but my memory is that this is the worst finale of any Trek series I’ve watched to completion. 2022-03-19 01:56:20 VOY status: San Francisco! 2022-03-19 01:45:35 @raulpacheco Both, but more Trek. 2022-03-19 01:10:02 In sort-of the words of my global music prof: it’s shitty outside, nice inside, and this old guy* is going to talk about** opera * hologram ** sing 2022-03-19 01:05:04 VOY status: 15 minutes of sleep is really all I needed anyway. 2022-03-19 00:49:10 RT @andrewkuznet: PhD students choosing an advisor this Fall: In the before-times, ~25 students & 2022-03-19 00:39:16 @aj_boston it has been so long since I’ve even thought about Surge. 2022-03-19 00:19:26 VOY status: Talaxians in the asteroid field. 2022-03-18 23:28:52 One of the other problems with cheating (whether by CH or an exam bank) is that it takes time, and iteration, to develop a good assessment. While one can learn from one question to write a different related question, it’s harder. Esp. things like debugging distract or wording. 2022-03-18 23:25:39 There are a bunch of reasons grades should not be competitive, but keeping cheaters from hurting other students’ outcomes is an important one. Also your grade should assess how well *you* did, not how well others did. 2022-03-18 23:23:10 I hate CourseHero (and Chegg) as much as the next prof, and wish for their swift and public dissolution.

There may well be study groups that can be opportunistically leveraged, but can't plan on it I don't think (although some may have found ways? it's been a few years since I was talking w/ pro mooc designers). 2022-01-06 04:52:41 @TaliaRinger (In retrospect, this is consistent with the planning we were doing pre-pandemic to rebuild our MOOC: we were looking at a ground-up rebuild as a video textbook, and estimated 150 hrs/each for 2 profs.) 2022-01-06 04:51:43 @TaliaRinger I didn't keep careful track, but estimate the content creation for my data science course took approx. 300 hours 2022-01-06 04:48:59 @TaliaRinger Already designing in small pieces gives you a head start.

You can get some discussion in the forums, but it it's optional, async, and not integrated with the flow of material.

Haven't had any problem since they rebuilt that wheel on DT Swiss (which I also used when rebuilding my front wheel). 2021-10-11 02:06:44 @struthious I will note, though, that they cut costs on the spokes. Broke 2-3 on the rear wheel, rebuild when I replaced the hub was much more sturdy. (This bike was a sound concept with some... odd... design choices.) 2021-10-11 02:02:47 @struthious I was regularly loading it beyond design capacity.

This time the core of my religious identity doesn’t feel in question, though — just some trappings. 2021-10-10 00:31:02 I describe my own religious trajectory as “reconstruction”, but that’s because the outcome of deconstruction was keeping my faith with new understanding. That isn’t everyone’s experience. It wasn’t guaranteed to be mine — I didn’t know if my faith would survive 2011–12. 2021-10-10 00:25:33 Still shaking my head at the idea I saw On Here this morning that because religious deconstruction has multiple possible outcomes (abandoning faith, evolving into a different understanding of one’s faith, probably some holding steady), the term is too broad to be useful 2021-10-09 17:56:34 Ooh the new Boise State VPN doesn’t block local network access!

This doesn’t make the term too broad to be useful 2021-10-09 16:21:39 @DrJordanBCooper I think your understanding here looks too much at the outcome instead of the process.

For any given algorithmic deployment, we need to build appropriate metrics and study what it actually does in-situ. But it means it *can*. And realizing that possibility is why I'm still a proud member of the #recsys community. 2021-10-05 20:05:14 If that's your optimization goal - some usable operationalization of "probability friends will see the pic within 24 hours" - algorithmic ranking is an incredibly useful tool! Even if it's just a secondary metric you track, we the algo can enhance social connection across time. 2021-10-05 20:03:36 But in the Instagram case: if I post a pic of my rabbit, my friends logging in from t₀ to t-< Algo feed makes sure ppl who like my rabbit get the picture sometime. 2021-10-05 20:01:01 For my first several years on Twitter, I kept my follow count to where I could exhaustively read my feed. The Home timeline's ranker is good enough I have significantly expanded my follow set.

They incentivize activity, not thoughtfulness, and prioritize both the most active (volume increases probability of being recent) and the longitudinally co-located (EU friend post at my 2am is really easy to miss). 2021-10-05 19:56:38 I'm fine with it as an option. I appreciate being able to switch Twitter to that mode.

All of the problems of ubiquitous surveillance, equipped with tech that allows new questions with much different — and greater — privacy implications to be asked. 7/ 2021-09-17 19:42:41 The scale and speed of computing means “replacing a human” can be much more transformative than just doing the job more cheaply, or quickly. Facial recognition “just” replaces what a human could do — looking through pictures to find a person — but that does so much more. 3/ 2021-09-17 19:42:40 Oof. Proctorio CEO: “We do not agree that the software erodes expectations of privacy, as it merely replaces a human invigilator monitoring the taking of the exam.” That completely overlooks the transformative nature of that replacement. 1/n https://t.co/Hq1hJ9x8bb 2021-09-17 19:13:44 RT @timnitGebru: "To Gilliard, facial recognition software has no place in a free society, not just because it is often less accurate in id… 2021-09-17 18:39:55 Glad to see the YouTube publicly writing about their responsible #recsys goals!

I will take a look at Breezer. So far Priority is the best fit I've found in "ready to order in the US", although their Pinion-based model is backordered until end of October. 2021-09-09 14:20:50 I had considered Seven as a possible dream frame for a custom road build, but I’m not so sure about locking up that much bike in my random commute use case. Or buying that much bike in the first place. I’m not sure most bike thieves would recognize it though . 2021-09-09 14:18:18 *sees Seven has a utility frame with a belt drive option* *drools* *sees price tag* That’s… a lot of bike to get stolen. 2021-09-09 04:52:08 What I’ve learned in my searches tonight: • Priority sells belt-drive bikes with dynamos and either CVT (gross) or Pinion (intriguing) • the Soma Wolverine frame supports belt drives — promising 2021-09-09 04:50:34 @MyersCircus This is useful to know, thanks!

Wasn't planning on a new commuter this year. Also, I've generally expected to lose a bike to theft or collision, not the seatpost breaking clean through. 2021-09-09 01:03:21 So I guess I’m in the market for a new commuter. Sad — I love this bike. 2021-09-09 00:59:21 When I bought my commuter bike, I had component questions but figured the frame was solid even if I needed to swap out parts. I didn’t expect to break the frame. 2021-09-09 00:06:54 I hope I'm not breaking my students. It's just so much easier to clearly and concisely explain important concepts if we can write them in terms of conditional probabilities (or occasionally expectations). (And I didn't have any problems doing this last fall.) 2021-09-09 00:06:53 My approach since then has been to be up-front that I'm pretty much an instrumentalist 2021-09-09 00:06:51 Some time ago, I had a student who got hung up on my use of probability notation to describe empirical ratios (e.g. estimating co-rate probabilities from historical data).

This touches on some problems that I’ve been pondering for a while, but haven’t had bandwidth or resources to directly work on. 2021-08-28 12:44:20 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley Also, Nevena Dragovic incorporated diversification-over-interest-space in her 2016 MS thesis: https://t.co/cSFBEm2izw 2021-08-28 12:37:54 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley The IR literature on subtopic diversification may yield some useful metrics as well, though. I don’t recall seeing papers applying them to RecSys (off-hand on Sat AM on my phone), but query subtopics and user subpreferences are similar problems. 2021-08-28 12:35:39 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley But again, both Goffman and MMR don’t directly measure interest coverage. It’s just that their objective improves by replacing a redundant item with one with less absolute relevance, but that is relevant for different reasons (diff. pref space, diff. subtopic for search query). 2021-08-28 12:33:44 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley But, if you can implement Goffman’s idea, you maximize P(user likes something on the list), which implies maximizing coverage across the user’s interest space. I personally haven’t seen much RecSys lit directly pushing on this idea (it might be latent in whole-page optimization?) 2021-08-28 12:29:24 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley Now for a bit of a rabbit trail… In 1964 Goffman proposed lower-rank items should be chosen on their conditional probability of relevance given previous items aren’t relevant [https://t.co/iBfyLq5Wao]. The marginal relevance construct is a tractable approximation of this. 2021-08-28 12:23:01 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley Sometimes this works better than others. Maximum Marginal Relevance, while not a metric, will pick a diverse set of items from the set estimated to have reasonably high relevance (https://t.co/lmkKyfVWt4), thereby implicitly pursuing this goal. 2021-08-28 12:18:17 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley But most of the diversity metrics in the literature measure diversity in terms of item taxonomies or vector space representation, and relation to user interest is handled by balancing diversity with relevance (diversifying into non-interests theoretically hurts relevance) 2021-08-28 12:11:33 @PreethiLahoti @karlhigley I don’t remember if it had a metric or just an optimization procedure, but I’d start with Harold Steck’s “Calibrated Recommendations” (RecSys 2018). 2021-08-28 04:07:53 @karlhigley https://t.co/kz4PlkecL9 2021-08-28 04:07:18 RT @karlhigley: @mdekstrand At least he learned something as he aged, I guess? https://t.co/63UmtljFer 2021-08-28 03:12:01 Class is canceled today, Prof. Samsa called in bug. 2021-08-28 02:46:24 the Castle of Doom briefing scene may be one of the the funniest scenes in Voyager. 2021-08-28 02:22:11 VOY status: that’s not Chaotica 2021-08-28 01:39:13 Turns out there’s a raging garbage fire burning in an aspect of my former life, and it has only the weakest of connections to the season in which my peers pushed a literal dumpster flambé down Welch Avenue. 2021-08-28 00:47:25 @NassimSo @cuinfoscience congrats! 2021-08-27 23:24:19 I'm in this picture and really don't like it. https://t.co/wjMvFC9m7q 2021-08-27 20:11:30 RT @TheRaDR: Britney Seax, Britney Saber, Britney Scythe… Am here for all the Warrior Britneys https://t.co/majlKgN4gP 2021-08-27 20:09:22 @JFTitone @cfiesler ooh that sounds somewhat easier than writing bespoke Python. 2021-08-27 19:56:21 @cfiesler Fortunately it does let me export BibTeX, so I'm currently engaged in crimes involving translating a BibTeX file into a spreasheet. 2021-08-27 19:44:47 Does anyone happen to know some undocumented trick to convert ACM Digital Library search results into a spreadsheet of titles and DOIs?

This distinction matters. 2021-07-28 15:42:19 There are probably folks making the claim “the abstract concept of a meritocracy, given a fair and accurate assessment of merit, is racist”, but I seldom see such a claim. Claims that it’s bad, sure, but something can be bad without being racist. 2021-07-28 15:40:19 +1. And I think there’s something key here that’s lost on folks writing “divisive concept” laws.

The mechanic was also more interesting than Inception IMO (tho that may be priming — friends were all MIND BLOWN, I found it easy to track). Usual Nolan problem of poorly-developed women though. 2021-07-03 14:32:24 Have finished Tenet, and… it’s a Nolan movie, but one of the better ones.

The city had changed meter policies in hopes of improving parking availability on Saturdays. They wanted to know if it worked. My memory is hazy but IIRC the students found evidence of desired effect.) 2021-07-01 13:32:58 @cjpberry That said, I have received and declined direct requests that are basically “I have a startup idea. Could some students build the tech for me for free as a class project?” (If a student wants to work on their own idea, I’m all ears.) 2021-07-01 13:31:10 @cjpberry In this case, it’s from a middleman startup brokering these opportunities and — presumably — making a buck. Are orgs paying them to exploit my students’ labor? If it was a product manager in a known local company, I’d be less cynical. 2021-07-01 13:27:04 Not that nonprofit or local government work can’t be exploitive as well. But it seems there’s a difference between helping the city make sense of some parking meter data and doing an internal corporate project. (I’m completely against corp partners — we use them in capstone.) 2021-07-01 13:15:17 It’s a tough line between meaningful projects that might actually be used and exploitation.

I've been helping my church figure out a new system, and want them to have a meter to be consistent week-to-week on how loud things are. 2021-06-28 16:31:04 @decaelus I believe there is good-faith disagreement with CRT in some places, but the current political movement is not one of those places. 2021-06-28 16:24:53 @vekstra @shannimcg Makes sense, and probably the big driver. I guess I'm trying to puzzle through how I got out, and how to relate to folks around me… I don't expect "you are performing your social identity" is a persuasive argument to someone who doesn't know they're being fed a pack of lies. 2021-06-28 16:22:14 (also my mother has been teaching kids in her community about white privilege, etc. go mom.) 2021-06-28 15:59:23 (there were some anchors that helped me get out. one was family history & 2021-06-28 15:53:58 And I think about it from the perspective that I used to be there.

I'm more interested in why it works: why does rank and file latch on to their lies and misrepresentations as true? Why do people think HB352 is actually about what we teach? 2021-06-28 15:19:56 @mark_riedl I also hope they pretend Foundation and Earth (and probably the subsequently-written books, although I haven't read them myself) doesn't exist. 2021-06-28 15:18:39 @mark_riedl Yeah. Foundation is def. one of my problematic faves, it would be great if they can adjust the problem/fave balance. just getting rid of men of default ethnicity smoking cigars and deciding the fate of the galaxy from their back rooms would be an improvement 2021-06-28 15:16:06 RT @mark_riedl: Dune reboot is going to be crazy https://t.co/mgeKzjccnP 2021-06-28 15:15:54 @mark_riedl sandworms are the result of genetic engineering since the roboworms were banned in the Butlerian Jihad? 2021-06-28 14:33:32 I think this line makes at least a second error as well: confusing done *by* with done *for*. As I understand it, the core problem with the wrongs CRT seeks to understand and correct isn’t that they’re done by white people, but that they reify white supremacy. 2021-06-28 14:27:54 So when the anti-CRT law prohibits teaching that someone is, by virtue of race or sex, responsible for wrongs committed by others in same bucket, I think that may work and ring true because ppl don’t have the framework to understand other visions of (corporate) responsibility. 2021-06-28 14:24:19 A responsibility to repudiate and dismantle systems that were created in my name and for my alleged benefit at the expense of others is not the same thing as the sin confessed and absolved in my faith’s liturgy and sacraments. They can be related, but they are not the same thing. 2021-06-28 14:19:59 Besides all the clear bad faith and dishonesty, I wonder if some anti-CRT is from limited views of responsibility and accountability. If the only model for moral responsibility is “personal guilt that requires punishment, atonement, and/or absolution”, you cannot understand CRT. 2021-06-28 14:11:54 RT @ewrigleyfield: Regarding attacks on academic freedom and free speech, one thing universities need to be crystal clear on is that showin… 2021-06-28 14:11:51 RT @ewrigleyfield: Great thread!

What classes of misuse can we prevent through API design, type systems, etc.? Can we make it hard to train on test data? Probably. Can we make it hard to use a statistical method out of spec? Maybe. 2021-06-26 19:35:22 @cbarrett @TaliaRinger @krismicinski I've been thinking about this for a while, as a "probably impossible but I'd hope maybe not" pipe dream. I'm inspired here by the idea of misuse-resistant APIs from applied crypto, where the library is designed to be difficult to misuse in a way that breaks crypto properties. 2021-06-26 19:34:01 @cbarrett @TaliaRinger @krismicinski This is an assertion that I expect is likely true, but it would be *very* interesting if it were false, and IMO it's worth exploring in significant depth to see how fare we could go with using types to preclude harmful effects.

Bonus: committee gets to see, and can give pre-proposal feedback on topic and methods. 2021-06-26 15:36:22 @HydroLejo Breadth is best covered through course requirements IMO. Why have them take another exam when there’s a course to pass? In my Ph.D, a topic’s qualifier was basically its final (one reason they got rid of the separate exam and just require passing 3 breadth courses). 2021-06-26 15:27:06 @HydroLejo I see two primary ones: • assessment of preparation for doctoral research • assessment of sufficient disciplinary breadth to be able to communicate and teach in the discipline at large None of these require hazing. 2021-06-26 15:12:41 Scarecrow backstory: the IRB had some concerned about his research program. 2021-06-26 14:50:21 the batmobile is like “what if Art Deco had a straight-12 engine?” 2021-06-26 14:44:38 OF COURSE Bruce Wayne funds a prison.

A good gearhub is marvelous 2021-06-11 16:12:12 @johnregehr My shop in Texas had this weird custom rig they built with an Alfine 8 hub and 26" unicycle wheels. 2021-06-11 16:08:20 @johnregehr Yeah. My shop had to order my hub. I think they have 1-2 Elektra models with 3-speed hubs, but nothing that ships with an 8-speed. I don't think REI (my commuter is their former house brand) has internally-geared rigs any more either. 2021-06-11 16:04:04 Surly is also definitely building bikes to be used, but not for the same role and contexts that a Dutch commuter targets. And there's the electric utility manufacturers like Yuba and Rad Power that are doing great work on viable car replacements. 2021-06-11 15:57:37 There are some that are pushing on this. Detroit Bikes and Brooklyn Bicycle Co. are both doing good work on utility bikes, and there's the whole folding-bike market, and Trek's Elektra line is trying but doesn't seem to have really gotten the Dutch vibe yet IMO. 2021-06-11 15:29:16 I later added the Alfine hub dynamo and a German lighting rig, and have an amazing commuter/utility bike you can buy nowhere in the US but is equivalent to a pretty standard European rig (not quite Dutch, though, it’s more like what I’ve seen from German manufacturers). 2021-06-11 15:26:41 The NuVinci is an interesting idea, that catches eyes on the spec sheet, but it’s a slog in practice. When I had my local shop swap it out for an Alfine 8, the bike danced. Even this utility cycle was built for marketing instead of solid engineering, it seems. 2021-06-11 15:23:11 My commuter is one of the more utility-oriented bikes I’ve seen for out-of-box experience in the US, but it’s no longer made (and manufacturer has offered no true equivalent), and has some odd gimmicky design choices (NuVinci 360 continuously variable hub). 2021-06-11 15:21:17 The US is far behind in bicycles as tools or infrastructure. If you go into one of the utility cycling shops that does exist, like the Hub in Minneapolis, it’s a very different place from a bike toy shop. 2021-06-11 15:18:57 I agree with the problem Bart identifies here, but would locate the cause in a slightly different place: in the US, bikes are toys. Expensive, tinkerable toys for weekend warriors 2021-06-11 14:57:26 @usabart Also dyno lights!

We’re all still pretty early in working that out. 2021-04-14 14:12:39 @841io @geomblog Very much yes. Some gap-filling — @ProfJudyKay’s work on putting users in control of their user models (“scrutable user models”), my own arg w/ @McWillemsen on centering user perspectives (https://t.co/MdV5RtnXSG), @usabart on self-actualization through RecSys. 2021-04-14 14:04:25 @geomblog At the very least this provides significant motivation for value-aware and transparent RecSys, so you can build such systems and show them to be compliant. 2021-04-14 14:02:45 @geomblog I think that’s going to depend a lot on the level of intent required to be in violation, and the evidence needed to show that intent.

Key idea: pass parent seed as param to worker init, derive seed w/ that + process name (deterministically set by multiprocessing). 2021-04-06 01:37:05 @karlhigley I’ve got code to solve the opposite problem: giving workers different seeds that are deterministic given initial root seed. NumPy 1.17’s new generator infra makes that way easier. 2021-04-06 01:22:11 @karlhigley so if I understand correctly, each worker generates a piece of seed, and the full seed is the sum? so everything gets the same seed at the end? (I don't know what all is going on here.) 2021-04-06 01:09:55 @karlhigley Do you have suggestions for how to handle devices for CuPy seeding? Seed all of them? Only seed CuPy if user requests it?

Some things are legit hard to name, but difficulty can be a sign that a class/table/function’s responsibility may not be well-specified. https://t.co/BGo5K0nk9v 2021-04-03 23:29:00 @Adel1989 I also haven’t taken that!

That the stories of Trek are worth telling again, even when darker visions are more popular. That we should seek out new life and new civilizations. That the story still matters. < 2021-03-29 02:12:58 So then we get to the end of the show — Marcus defeated, Khan captured, Tribbles supercharged, and Kirk gives his speech, about the need to reject Marcus’s cynicism. The need to pursue the virtues and vision of the Federation. https://t.co/KaamACGwrs 2021-03-29 02:12:55 Because at its core, the film is not about Khan — he’s the McGuffin, really. It’s about Marcus, and Kirk, and the course of Federation history. It’s about whether utopia is a viable goal, and is a story worth telling. https://t.co/ThUbVKqfzZ 2021-03-29 02:12:54 So what the film does — and I think does brilliantly — is it shows Star Trek flirting with the path of Dark Cynical War. That’s where Marcus thinks the Federation must go. It’s what his ship represents. https://t.co/xINCgiyiNw 2021-03-29 02:12:52 So assuming the Trek AU tweaks but does not fundamentally alter the historical progression of Trek, how do you make utopia work in a literary landscape that has mostly abandoned it? That’s the puzzle of Into Darkness. https://t.co/9T5VrzLe96 2021-03-29 02:12:50 Classic Trek — TOS and TNG — is fundamentally, immutably optimistic. It’s the story of utopia exploring. Most 20c sci-fi is… not (with exceptions like The Orville, and some Doctor Who). https://t.co/ClAXCkVnSz 2021-03-29 02:12:48 Someone brought up Into Darkness in a thread of sequels that should be wiped from existence, and hard disagree.

Job marketplaces should be held to higher standards than that. Say, recommendations that advance equality of opportunity. 2021-03-25 21:29:21 And while I would very much like to see third-party verification, I find Instagram's claim that algo feed increased probability of seeing your close contacts' pics by a substantial fraction compelling. Personalized feed sorting can advance pro-social aims. 2021-03-25 21:28:35 Sure, you can reverse-chronological. I like my TweetDeck reverse chronological feed. Algorithmic feed sorting can be problematic, annoying, arguably takes away user control. And it can be incredibly useful. I don't have time to keep up with all of Twitter. 2021-03-25 21:27:13 So. This bill requires you to deploy utterly unworkable methods to avoid liability (for certain classes of content? that bit isn't entirely clear to me). 2021-03-25 21:24:51 So you apply a time decay: recent interactions count more than old interactions. Bye, transparency! And all we did was fix popularity so it isn't manifestly broken. This one's a bit easier to work around: "popular this week" probably complies with the bill. 2021-03-25 21:23:35 Ok, let's talk about sorting by raw popularity. You usually don't want to do this for precisely the same reason Reddit doesn't sort articles by the net upvotes: the front page would never change. Article #1 would be a milkshake duck for all eternity. 2021-03-25 21:21:59 You also have engineering degrees of freedom probably disallowed by law. What confidence interval? How strong is your shrinking? How complex can your "average" get and comply with the law? 2021-03-25 21:21:04 Do these count as "average rating"? It isn't transparent to the user why mean=4.5 is ranked above mean=4.8. Unless you remember your statistical inference for the mean and intuit that it's what the site is doing. 2021-03-25 21:19:08 The first is to use a confidence interval. For a binomial, you can use a Wilson score as described in the article. You can also use shrinking or Bayesian inference. Key idea: assume a priori every item has N ratings at the global mean. Real ratings gradually overcome. 2021-03-25 21:17:41 You don't want to sort by mean rating, as listed in that article. The item with one fan gets top billing, because no item consumed by a reasonable number of people will have unanimous 5-star algorithms. You've got a couple of options here. 2021-03-25 21:16:14 oh my. oh my oh my oh my. Exempt algorithms are chronological, average rating, # of ratings, alphabetical, and random. Let's have a talk about average ratings, shall we?
