Topically, this might be a useful part of a strategy to help the EA forum to stay focused on the most valuable things, if people had the option to sync their vote own history with the EigenKarma Network and use EKN lookup scores to influence the display and prioritization of posts on the front page. We’d be keen to collaborate with the EAF team to make this happen, if the community is excited.
At first I was confused because we already use something we call eigenkarma, but reading more closely I see that you have separate weightings for each person whereas we have a single global weighting. (Also we use an approximation, but still spiritually derived from the idea of calculating the eigenvectors of a vote matrix.)
I think this is an interesting idea; I have a bunch of uncertainty but I’m interested to see what other people think.
(Note: speaking on behalf of myself, not sure what other forum team people think.)
I’m curious about what the thing you call EigenKarma is, is it the way people with more karma have more weighty votes? Or is it something with a global eigenvector?
I personally would want them to factor the problem of social bubbles into their model and figure out some way of preventing that while still building up ‘trust points’.
