I do not find people I would expect for some topics and the same people come up for several topics. Is this also factoring in karma? If so, results will be skewed.
- lettergram 8y agoIt does not use karma at all, only comments and the context of said comments. Basically, it ingests comments and from that identifies experts, creates a search graph, etc. The accuracy would be higher, but there are limited number of comments on HN.
- LinuxBender 8y agoThankyou for the clarification. I will do a few more tests and see what I end up with.
- darth_mastah 8y ago> The accuracy would be higher, but there are limited number of comments on HN. Could you elaborate on that?
- lettergram 8y agoThe more comments from a user, the more accurate the system. In the case of HN, many people make less than 10 comments and the majority are shirt responses (i.e. contains minimal data). If you try "postgresql" or something, there are enough people who have discussed it to provide good results. If you type "hnprofile", likely only these comments will show up.
