Can I send you SBD to get even more recommendations?
Well, no! Sure send me some SBD if you have no use for them, but do not expect anything in return. You pay for this service with your vote only. This is recommendation socialism, baby! If you can give a lot, you have to give a lot, if you cannot, you only have to give a little!
How do you give recommendations?
In a nuthsell, I read all posts of last week and, first, filter all short ones, non English ones, and publications drowning in spelling mistakes. Secondly, I extract the essence out of each contribution. I do this by projecting the posts into a low dimensional vector space using Latent Semantic Analysis. Next, I look up the last 5 posts you voted for and project these into the space, too. Finally, I search the space for the articles closest to your choice by maximising the Cosine Similarity between your votes and last week's posts.
Best with barks,
HoundDog
