The algorithm
Posted on Sunday, December 9th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
I finished the tags.xml data feed for fAPI today.
One of the interesting new features offered by tags.xml is finding related tags. A simple query on tags.xml?related=fox returns vixen, kitsune, vulpine, canine and tiger. The algorithm relies on people tagging things...so the more that people tag, the more accurate it becomes.
After that, I tried plugging in a few power tags to some surprising results...
tags.xml?related=favbyekigyuu finds tags that I'm most interested in, and tags.xml?related=userekigyuu finds tags that I use frequently.
Won't be long until FAP is offering super accurate suggestions for works and artists that you would really like.
