Under the hood update: Introducing Topic Models, which improve Community Notes’ ability to identify notes that are helpful to people from different points of view.
Community Notes shows notes that are found helpful by people who’ve disagreed in their past ratings. Now, it will factor in both whether raters have disagreed in general as well as on the specific topic of the note. This strengthens the algorithm’s ability to find notes that bridge across topics. We’re initially trialing a small set of Topic Models and will monitor their effectiveness at identifying broadly helpful notes.
As always, code and details are open-source in GitHub, and your feedback helps drive improvements like this one: https://t.co/H78viix3AW
