Just launched an algorithm update that keeps note statuses and contributor impact scores more stable as we expand Community Notes. In addition to helping going forward, it boosts existing contributor impact scores by better recognizing helpful past contributions. Details 🧵
As the program expands, older data comprise an increasingly small fraction of the dataset, and scores on older notes have tended to fluctuate causing some of them to lose Helpful status.
To maintain Helpful note quality as the program continues to grow, we are locking note status once a note is two weeks old. This approach allows us to optimize the algorithm with a focus on current data while persisting helpful contributions on older topics.
As always, this change to our algorithm is open source and can be inspected in Github:
@CommunityNotes @CommunityNotes I have applied about 1 month ago and still no answer. 😞
@CommunityNotes My rating impact hasn’t changed from 0 even tho I rated nots before they went live! @CommunityNotes
@CommunityNotes Can you fix the significant interface bugs? I tried to add a note after resetting one. Instead it took me to a screen suggesting I should rate notes for a bunch of other tweets. I obliged and rated one. There is no header to the app and no way to get back to my feed.
@CommunityNotes What happens if further information makes an order helpful note otherwise or adds different context or understanding?
