The Bionic Man
@TheRealMasud
I won’t stop dancing, until the curtain falls, by then my story will be a compelling movie.

🚨🇫🇷 Didier Deschamps: “I will ask a question… does the referee possess the required level to manage a World Cup semi-final?”.



Is there a data science newbie that can explain what just happened on twitter Small price dey


@Zlatandiary this is what you have always said.

José Mourinho and his staff following the semi final. 😁




So twitter isn’t a platform with detail profile and metadata beyond location, so they focus more on collaborative filtering really Now the actual issue is, twitter feed used to be like LinkedIn, what you see is based on what the people you follow do, no recommendation engine was used Then Elon switch that , start two feeds “For You” and “Following” for you is exploratory , you are getting recommendations based on interaction , not based on who you follow , they combine content filtering and collaborative filtering , so metadata is key (this is what made the feed disruptive ) So even if you’re not following me , if you interact with me, you’ll see more of my tweets, not just that, you’ll see people like me or that tweet like me, or If you like my tweet, you’ll see tweets that others who like my tweet, also like And the metadata filter brings in search relating content filtering All combined made it a mad feed. They would have made it better by applying a reasonable scale for the feed , say 50 percent from your followers, 20 for content based collaborative filtering , 20 content based collaborative or 10 content based filtering Instead they placed priority on the recommendations, eliminating your followers posts (this is the actual problem and what I was looking for, the explanation was just to differentiate it from what you explained) They’ve now decided to prioritise your followers content over the random ones brought from recommendation Now remember recommendations isn’t saying you’ll definitely like what’s recommended, it’s saying you probably will (mostly around 10-20percent chance you’ll like it) Imagine flooding your feed with something that you have 10-20 percent chance of liking, it’s huge amount of unbearable noise Lasting solution is , weighted distribution of feed based on the example above, and also allowing users to give explicit feedback (like and unlike) and also taking implicit feedback from users (if you give me content from a user like thrice and I don’t interact, it mean I don’t like it, don’t give me anymore)

Beating Spain isn’t for everyone



England is winning this World Cup. I would have been more concerned if they were facing France in the final, but against Spain, I believe they can nick it. They need to get past Argentina tomorrow. One game at a time.
