I'm curious: what's the reason for it being the the average easiness? Thinking about it, I'm guessing the reason is to try to adapt to the user: a user who inputs lots of 'bad'/hard questions will have a deck with a low average easiness, and so one should expect any future cards to also be bad/hard, and so it's more efficient to set the beginning easiness down low; while a user who inputs lots of bite-size 'easy' cards will be quickly pushing cards up in easiness, increasing the average, and thus one should expect more easy cards and so default to higher easinesses. -- gwern --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
