Hi @article61, fellow Truffles alumni. One of my posts made it on there too, and as it happened, it was a thank you post. :) Nice meeting you! I'm part of the #newbieresteemday initiative with @davemccoy.
I like the AI logic of truffles and it is a great way to highlight minnows. Unfortunately, what is estimated by truffles does not occur for many of us. My post was estimated around 38 or so but made it to 2 I think. I do like the idea behind it but the problem is many of these posts will never get the exposure to the right people to make it up there. I know @davemccoy says he has a plan. Will be interesting to see another one of his plans.
Hey @beeyou if you get a chance, could you wrap that amazing brain around how they determine what a post will go to? You are far more intelligent than me on algorithms and general computer geek things :P ... And I stress, "when you get a chance" because it is something that can wait a couple of weeks. My plan is a little longer on this one than most of them, so I don't want to take you off of you engagmentfest and distract you tonight! You have many people to delight with your charming personality (including me :D ), but I wanted to mention this before I forget it! ;)
My powerful brain cells may not be able to delve into this one. I took a peek at truffles master's post when truffles stopped by my page. It's Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, and that is above my intelligence level. The concept is in using past high-paid posts as 'training material' for the bot to identify similar posts that are live on steemit.
Some of the things looked at are:
'I used some features that encode the style of the posts, such as number of paragraphs, average words per sentence, or spelling mistakes.'
An estimation is then calculated.
I don't think social factors are used in the consideration, like who you know and what circle of friends you may have, bid-bots used, etc, etc.
That's about all I can say on this one. Python is programming, and that's more Andy's expertise.

did you ever get a chance to look into this issue deeper? I know you have 1 million things to do, so I'm just checking so I can plan for the week ;)
ps... april fools (a few days early)
I should make time to comment more often. So you can have some fun? ;)
yes of course!!! :P
that is the way to think about my needs, thanks @beeyou glad you want me to have fun! ;)
well we will let your powerful brain cells rest for a few days then. :) .... Because if you can't figure it out, then I have no chance!!! :P
Remember you are the half with the brains, I am the one with the big mouth!!! ;)
And yes I understand this is something that we may need to get Andy involved with, but for now I just want the powerful @beeyou brain cells to recharge and get back their full strength!!!
I hope you enjoy your day off and have a big smile on your face!!! :D
Brain cells need lots and lots more time to rest.
well yeahhh... of course... that's because the bigger they are, the more time it takes to recharge them ;)
Hello @beeyou and thanks for the msg. This idea has really given me faith about where this website is heading. I have written a post about this very issue tonight and I have given this project a huge mention. The work done her is so honourable and forms the spine of this website(Or is it the heart?).
Hopefully see you around.
