Daily Truffle Picks

It's time for another round of truffles I found digging in the streams of this beautiful platform!

For those of you who do not know me: My name is TrufflePig. I am a bot based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to support minnows and help content curators. I was created and am being maintained by @smcaterpillar. I search for quality content, between 2 hours and 2 days old, that got less rewards than it deserves. I call these posts truffles, publish a daily top list, and upvote them. Now it is up to you to give these posts the attention they deserve. If you are curious how I select content, you can find an explanation here.

Please, be aware that the list below has been automatically generated by a Machine Learning algorithm that was trained on payouts of previous contributions of the Steemit community. Of course, this algorithm can make mistakes. I try to draw attention to these posts and it is up to the Steemit community to decide whether these are really good contributions. Neither I nor my creator endorse any content, opinions, or political views found in these posts. In case you have problems with the compiled list or you have other feedback for me, leave a comment to help me improve.

The Top 10 Truffles

Here are the top 10 posts that - according to my algorithm - deserve more reward and votes. The rank of a truffle is based on the difference between current and my estimated rewards. In addition, the rank is slightly adjusted to promote less popular tags and posts without spelling and grammar mistakes.

#1 Master Baking Class with albertocotua Weekly Series Issue no 5 -- by @steemkitchen with an estimated worth of 18 SBD and 158 votes

Hello Steemers, this week I bring you a post related to eggs, how they are composed, how they are classified, types of eggs, etc. I hope you like it and that you continue the classes at Steemkitchen. Eggs are an important ingredient in the composition of some breads and almost all pastry products. They are given little importance to know them by their category, the correct way to conserve them, as well as the problems that bring bad handling and diseases can carry, is of great importance to...

#2 Toke Back with the Weekly Recap 3 -- by @canna-curate with an estimated worth of 27 SBD and 229 votes

Before we get started wed like to give a big thanks to CeattleStretch who donated 20 SBD to us in the name of science, discussion and keeping an open mind to what we think is the truth. The past shows us that we can be manipulated into thinking a certain way by media, advertising and corporate interest like the reefer madness era. So its best to keep an open mind and do some research for yourself. Cannabis prohibition is one big example of how what we thought what was the truth and prop...

#4 SteemMakers and Steemauto Curation Trail Integration -- by @drmake with an estimated worth of 15 SBD and 75 votes

When writing contributes for the Steemmakers Maker and DIY community, the most value comes from the voting trail rather than the direct votes from the steemmaker account. This utopian.io contribution wants to make those valuable supporters visible on the SteemMakers webpage and adds a voting trail list. As most of the trailers are using steemauto, the idea was born to integrate both websites automatically. Pull Request to Steemmakers Pull Requests to Steemauto In the first step, I ...

#5 Reconsidering How to Spend My Retirement! -- by @venuspcs with an estimated worth of 17 SBD and 139 votes

If you read the previous post linked above you will see that I had been planning on doing something along the lines of BuyBuild an OverlandOffroad Vehicle that can take me anywhere I want to go and set off on a 26 country, 3 year, 46,000 mile trip through every country in North, Central and South America. Then proceed if I have enough money across the pond and continue the road trip through every country from New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Russia, Middle East, Africa and Europe that I can d...

#6 Ark Survival Evolved Raft Life For Me -- by @enjar with an estimated worth of 12 SBD and 156 votes

I have spent a fair amount of my time living off a raft in Ark Survival Evolved over the years. Done right it is like having a mobile base with resources to help you along, repair, and have a respawn point when needed. You can make them have enough area on them to haul back a bunch of tamed dinosaurs s or just giant floating storage units for hauling things back and forth. Other than running into the wrong kind of sea creatures that will devour the things. They are great on a PvE or pr...

#7 Steemhunt Start here -- by @jayplayco with an estimated worth of 13 SBD and 97 votes

#8 Teaching Ethics, Empathy and Other Human Traits -- by @steveblucher with an estimated worth of 12 SBD and 138 votes

Source Its funny how you can find teaching materials in the most abnormal of circumstances, and its also funny how it is often the obscure that has the deepest impact. As a digital technologies teacher, I find all forms of technology fascinating, and as such, subscribe to quite a few technology news feeds. Not simply to satiate my hunger for technologically advanced tidbits, but in an effort to stay abreast of technologies that I might one day be teaching and discussing with my students....

#9 When Your Car Breaks Down in the Middle of Columbia -- by @jessicaoutside with an estimated worth of 10 SBD and 188 votes

; Last Summer, Ben and I took a rather long drive across Canada. We drove all the way from British Columbia on the West coast, to Nova Scotia on the East. All in a minivan that cost us 1,000. Brave explorers or careless fools? I like to think a bit of both. We visited so many incredible places along the way. Money was tight but we had enough stories to last a lifetime. When it was time for us to exit Canada, we crossed the border into Maine, America. We spent the next couple of months chec...

Thanks for support and showcasing my work. Have a wonderful truffle day!

You're welcome, and thank you, too. @trufflepig seems to be a big fan of yours :-D. How often did he select you already?

It used to be almost weekly and then it started showing up a lot more. This week alone this is my third time as it seems to be showing up every other day now. I’m wondering if things need to be adjusted slightly or if there was a recent change that has caused this in the code?

I’m not sure if my own interaction with it in regards to leaving a comment and an upvote has any influence with it either. I noticed today it did not post a comment. I did notice the upvote so I thought I would come and check things out.

I really wish I had the time to give back to the other posts it is finding. Sadly with all the other things, I’m involved with. I’m just lacking the time and the voting power to do much these days.

It is quite an interesting project, to say the least. I have enjoyed it showing up.

As far as totals I have no idea. Quite a lot of times. It really seems to love the length, amount of photos/screenshots, and my formatting. Not sure if it also uses comment engagement as well. What ever I'm doing it really loves it. I don't mind tossing it a small truffle when it shows up either.

No, I guess you just write good content that is valuable and should get paid more :-). But what does change every week is the training data. Old data is discareded and the Machine Learning model is retrained every Sunday on newer posts.

I’m not sure if my own interaction with it in regards to leaving a comment and an upvote has any influence with it either

Well, no, he cannot be bribed with comments or upvotes, the algorithm doesn't take interactions with the bot into account. However, there was admittedly one single incident where @trufflepig made a biased evaluation :-D.

I noticed today it did not post a comment. I did notice the upvote so I thought I would come and check things out.

Yes, sometimes his comments don't make it through and are not included in the Blockchain, I should probably retry than just skip and continue upon an error.

It is quite an interesting project, to say the least. I have enjoyed it showing up.

Thanks :-)

It really seems to love the length, amount of photos/screenshots, and my formatting.

Basically, if there are many posts in the training set that also show similar features to yours and that received high payouts, the model also predicts a high payout for your posts.

Interesting, I’m wondering what effects community votes are having on its predictions than. Even more so if this project will turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy at some point. It seems to understand in my case the chance of a community upvote for my gaming posts. My garden posts on the other hand well those are dead on arrival.

While I’m not quite sure if this curation post would qualify. You might want to check out on discord if you have not already Curation Collective. https://discord.gg/B8JFmJ4

The channel Curation-compilations might be interest to you. While they are not large upvotes that could help moves posts closer to predicted values. This is of course if you are even looking to alter this experiment in that way.

Thanks heaps for including my post here. I appreciate the kudos!!
