TikTok and other social media somewhat famously get people quickly hooked by learning what kind of content gets them engaged. AFAIK, a big problem for Manifold currently is new users churning. It seems worth it to try to directly optimize for user engagement. From what I understand, Manifold does already use AI for recommendations, but ‘only’ by showing similar markets via OpenAI embeddings, not some sort of RL model or something trying to balance showing new closer matches and more variety.

I’m thinking about submitting this myself. But while I have some ML experience, I’ve never touched recommender systems. So if anyone wants to steal the idea or team up, that’d be cool.

@1941159478 Oh interesting! I didn't know that they currently used OpenAI embeddings. There is certainly more tweaking that could be done but knowing that makes me a little less confident that it could be improved that much? (I also was thinking of pursuing the ML recommender system)

What is this?

What is Manifold?
Manifold is the world's largest social prediction market.
Get accurate real-time odds on politics, tech, sports, and more.
Or create your own play-money betting market on any question you care about.
Are our predictions accurate?
Yes! Manifold is very well calibrated, with forecasts on average within 4 percentage points of the true probability. Our probabilities are created by users buying and selling shares of a market.
In the 2022 US midterm elections, we outperformed all other prediction market platforms and were in line with FiveThirtyEight’s performance. Many people who don't like betting still use Manifold to get reliable news.
ṀWhy use play money?
Mana (Ṁ) is the play-money currency used to bet on Manifold. It cannot be converted to cash. All users start with Ṁ1,000 for free.
Play money means it's much easier for anyone anywhere in the world to get started and try out forecasting without any risk. It also means there's more freedom to create and bet on any type of question.
