Hey folks,

you definitely saw the public post, so I skip to the more detailed stuff.

There are some changes, so posts on both girls, that are older than this one, can have emoji with different meanings.

*Category not used in consideration of new posts. They can be randomly chosen, but overpower everything else if considered with users.

More might be added later, but those are the currently used ones. If a post has more than one tag of a category, it still counts as one for the category (not multiple).

The process starts then, by gathering who are Patreons. The number decides on the possible states either of the girls can be in.

A "state" means a combination of users, that are considered online.

After all possible states are gathered, rewards are calculated.

Reward for a state is calculated, by gathering the percentage of likes for a certain category. Those percentages are then added with all other users of a certain state.

That gives us the raw reward. Then all rewards, except the highest ones are turn to -1 and the highest reward is awarded with 1. This is necessary, to stabilize the network and have it learn properly.

This means, that in a certain "user online" configuration, all actions (categories) are awarded with a negative reward, except the one who had the highest score.

Then a thorough training is done. After that a state is pulled from the database, to see what users are considered online. That state is fed into the network and the most liked category is chosen for an e621 search.

What are the tier multipliers then?

Good question. Those apply after the percentage normalization. This means that instead of just giving a +1, you give a +4 when pledging $10+

$1 = +1

$5 = +2

$10 = +4

So the more you pledge, the more influence you get.

Again, if you have questions, feel free to ask!
