RE: How-to solve SPAM and Democratize Steem: Introducing UserAuthority
Have you considered applying the SVD calculation to speed up computation and basing your calculation on the top 90% of the eigenvalues?
No, not yet and I don't think it would matter that much. As comparing users to pages, on steemit, only a very small amount of users (let's say 500k) compared to pages on the web (a lot more) exist. Computationally it doesn't currently seem to be a problem, so optimizing it would bring little added value. And also, the total follower graph doesn't change drastically daily: a lot of new relationships may be formed and some (a lot less) are terminated, yet all in all that wouldn't make a big difference to the overall end-results. So daily re-calculating the UA binary index (containing about 8 bytes per user, or more if more information is stored in it), is fine.
