Topic: Vote for your Guru of the day (Page 2 of 2)

4 minutes and something to process 100 thread, identified something like 34 threads.
I am currently calibrating the "posters" part which, when added, should add 20 threads to the score, more or less.

The keyword set is here, for now. It's hard to balance right, one "wrong" keyword can get the engine to miss loads of things.

$goodkeywords = array(
	"DHTML/Javascript Archives" => array("function","dhtml","jscript","javascript","js","onmouseover","onmouseout", "css", "xhtml", "domain", "onload", "preload" ), 
	"Photoshop Archives" => array("photoshop", "painting", "brush", "filter", "displace", "color", "blend", "gradient", "watercolour", "tool", "illustrator", "adobe" ), 
	"Server-Side Scripting Archives" => array("php", "echo", "perl", "sql", "c\+\+", "request", "asp", "response", "redirect", "database", "server", "apache", "java", "upload", "script", "mysql", "page", "phpbb" ), 
	"OZONE Archives" => array("ms","opera","firefox","linux", "shocking", "birthday", "zeldman", "newborn", "hilarious", "party", "ozone", "baby", "funny", "cool"), 
	"BIG SIG Archives" => array("testing", "runner up", "winner", "idea", "contest", "mask"),
	"3D Modelling & Rendering Archives" => array("mesh", "max", "bryce", "nuurbs", "opengl", "cube", "solid", "poser", "volume", "coordinate", "render", "rendering"),
	"PS Pong Competition - Archived Games!" => array("bmp", "vs", "psd", "zip", "smash", "volley", "pop-corn"),
	"Print Graphics Archives" => array("layout", "cmyk", "paper", "font", "point", "inch", "truetype"),
	"Philosophy Archives" => array("debate", "life", "death", "god", "sense", "religion", "war", "meaning", "opinion", "christian", "terrorism", "evolution", "family", "belief", "atheism")
	);

Ok, the mod-bot will get live really really soon: details of it's integration to the Asylum are being discussed in the mad-sci forum.
This said, at the moment, it is very good at spotting threads from the s-side and dhtml forums, just like... me.

Because it has been built and educated by... me As I said, as an AI, it has a point of view, and this point of view should never stop evolving.
So, the system is built to "know" when it has difficulties classifying threads, but it should be able to ask someone what to do
with those threads, and why.

And to be really accurate, it should receive input from various Asylum users, not just one.

Ideally, mods, and ideally, those who are listed as posters in the Knowledge base.

So, this needs human beings and needs to be able to contact those human beings.
SMS, email, IM, your pick, but please, if you would like to help it learn and progress in the future, let me know.

Either drop me an email @mauro@beyondwonderlandDOTc-o_m or a post right here.

Cheers.

W00t. 72% threads fetched. Average 2"6 per thread.
And the whole processing is in place with the exception of bad keywords.

http://www.beyondwonderland.com/structure/services/automod/asylum/output.html

I would like to reach 85% threads fetched at each shot.
2"6 per thread is alright but can be improved.

A few threads are not archived correctly (spotted maybe 4 of them), but in all these cases, the second choice is the right one (meaning the kb just needs a finer balance for some cases).
Will soon release the associated web service, but first I have to improve / optimize this foundation.

(it needs to get past a certain performance treshold to really get live, this will ensure it improves itself over time..)

*pop*.

A couple more open questions, it's fine tuning time <insert sly smile here>

Can you think of "Asylum events" and help me list them? Photoshop pong, twenty liners, but also big sig, repeat performance and?...

Also, one forum I had never really paid attention to is the Photography forum: it's full of beautiful work!!!
Where should I teach automod to classify these, since there is no Photography archive? Miscellany or Photoshop or?...

And for that forum, I'll add the concerned mods to the "good posters" list: Shiiizam, krets... who am I leaving out?

Thanks in advance.

photograpyh: go by 'still valid image links' - and there'll be an archive for each forum, I guess.


Events:
PSPong - again, check for matches where the pictuers are still available.
signature contest
repeat performance
the photography challenges
don't forget those 'we are telling a big story, post by post' threads that pop up around christmas
birthday congratulations
20 liners

that's all out of the top of my mind right now...
