ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Prompt-engineering paper accepted to ICML R "Verbalized Sampling: How to Mitigate Mode Collapse and Unlock LLM Diversity" This paper was accepted to ICML this year. Its main idea is a very simple prompt-engineering trick: "changing the prompt this way led to more diverse sampling". Naturally, it is difficult to provide a rigorous theoretical analysis for something like this. Even if it works, I’m not sure this kin…
Hyperparameter tuning approach question R I am doing some work with cell type classification, where I have 4.3 million cells and 512 features (condensed embeddings from the encoder of a transformer). The broader goal is to implement a contextual bandit for augmenting the training set of the dataset, as it is currently imbalanced, and rare cell type classification is poor when I tried a baseline logistic regression …
TorchJD: Training with multiple losses in PyTorch P Hi everyone! I wanted to share some recent progress on TorchJD that might be useful to the machine learning community. When training models with multiple losses (multiple tasks, constraints, auxiliary losses, regularization terms, etc.), you typically have two options: Scalarization: Various ways to combine those losses into a single loss (e.g. average them or c…
I trained a local AI model that generated 22,000+ novel drug-like molecules — verified against 4.6M known compounds. Dataset available. Built an 80M parameter causal transformer on consumer hardware (RTX 5070), trained on MOSES + ZINC-250k. Generated and filtered for QED ≥ 0.5, SA ≤ 4.0, MW ≤ 500. Top compound hits QED 0.947. 100% novel against MOSES, ZINC, and ChEMBL. HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/M…
Books/Resources to improve mathematical foundations for ML research D I am a mid to late stage PhD student in ML.

I likely have only a year or two left until I graduate, and before I do so, I want to really dedicate some time and …
Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @datascientology. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 1,555,570 of 1,603,893entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Mentions
Named by 7 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
