You might get fined by EU for this practice ;) [1] http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm

Actually, you can only be fined by the EU if you have a dominant position in the market you are using to promote your service. The goal is to avoid monopolies jumping from one market to the other (which is particularly easy to do in tech). "Good" monopolistic companies may benefit the customer in the short term, but proper competition benefits everyone in the long term. I know it was just a joke, but it really doesn'…

I know that and i'm happy that there are still entities in world that can still influence google and other mega corps.

Hey HN! I'm one of the two developers behind Hackerhunt. As much as I love Hacker News and it's ranking algorithm for the front page news, it has a downside for the Show HN submissions. A lot of cool and useful stuff people have actually made themselves gets lost in /shownew without a real chance to get to the right audience. That's where the idea of a curated and categorised, à-la-Product-hunt, list was born. This i…

Does it use NLP (NER, etc) to categorize the news into topics?

The tags are added fully automatic and there is no option to add tags manually for now. That being said, we really want to make the tagging algorithm better, so hit me at human@finch.io with your case.

I created a small program to categorize titles by sub-reddit[1] to learn sci-kit, tensorflow, etc. I basically used reddit's Bigquery data for the dataset (it's huge!). My algorithm and code is here[2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gudnFNBXc58 [2] https://www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/6hqd6...

Initially we used all Show HN posts pointing to github repos as training data and the tags that are available at github.com, but that did return pretty noisy data.

Yes, we're analyzing the titles. They're vectorized and fed into a LSTM net which was trained on a manually tagged training set. The set is not very big yet but yields good enough results for the initial proof of concept.

How did you go about selecting a sample for manual tagging, and how did you decide what tags to end up using?
