One of the devs here.
1. That's the way we were thinking about it :)
2. Oh, excellent! We hadn't found that or we'd have used it, and we'll start working with it.
3. Tomorrow I'm going to blog about how we approached the machine learning. Short version; we manually came up with regular expressions to classify a training set based on titles. The idea is that when we experimented with manual annotations on titles, the vast majority of the time we were looking for only a few key words. There's no question that this adds biases and will not be entirely accurate, but manual inspection convinced us it was a good enough approach for our hackathon, and most of the articles we identified with the resulting algorithm would not have been found by the title regex alone.
You can see the table of regular expressions [here](https://github.com/dodger487/analyze_hn/blob/master/topics.csv https://github.com/dodger487/analyze_hn/blob/master/topics.c...) and a bunch of (pretty unstructured) analysis code [here](https://github.com/dodger487/analyze_hn/blob/master/hn-analysis.Rmd https://github.com/dodger487/analyze_hn/blob/master/hn-analy...).

- searchhn 9y agoThis is awesome ! Congrats.. https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API The firebase API is excellent. I have been using that to keep http://searchhn.com http://searchhn.com up to date in real time. Also big query is updated every day with all comments and posts. https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/bigquery-public-data:hacker_news https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/bigquery-public-da... This is what I started with to update the Searchera (https://searchera.io https://searchera.io) index which powers Searchhn
- var_explained 9y agoOh, that was silly of us not to use BigQuery! I was just able to use that download a full million stories (though we still would have had the rate-limiting step of downloading the articles). During a hackathon it can be hard to tell when to keep searching for an easy solution like that, as opposed to going with something slow you know will work- sometimes it turns out to be a dead end. Thanks for the recommendations!
