[–] gamegoblin 12y ago ↗ Does DataRank use any kind of machine learning techniques or is it purely a hand coded heuristic algorithm? [–] tyrick 12y ago ↗ It's a hand-coded heuristic algorithm with machine learning! =) [–] dsugarman 12y ago ↗ quantifying relevance is difficult at best, so building test data is at least as difficult.If there is art in defining the score in the test data, a fuzzy algorithm is a necessity.
