I'm not sure I believe we understand our own learning/memory anything like enough for this not to be total pseudoscience? Reminds me of A Beautiful Mind.

Libraries: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/free-spaced-repeti...

All are MIT licensed I believe, Anki is primarily AGPL

Just read the wiki ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The model used by FSRS: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/Free-Spaced-Repetition-Scheduler

Also, sorry for nitpicking, but I just checked the code here, and I saw that you changed the formula for post-lapse stability, but you didn't update the formula in the description here.

I have another one, also about difficulty. Look at the long "Stability updating formula after successful review" formula, there is a term D-b. This seems very counter-intuitive. A large value of D corresponds to an easy card, but thanks to that formula it will produce a very small change in stability. A small value of D corresponds to a difficult card, but according to that formula it will change stability a lot.

So I checked this and it seems that there's a whole bunch of different parameters (initial difficulty, initial stability, etc), and a lot of them are constant. So the next step would be to use some kind of optimization algorithm, like gradient descent, to optimize those parameters based on user's review history, right?

To generate: if you're trying to learn Japanese, you can use the Yomichan [1] (or Yomitan now that Yomichan [2] has been sunset) extension for Chrome or Firefox which integrates with Anki so you can create a card for a word you don't know with two key presses.

For Japanese, the browser extensions Yomichan[0] (Chrome-clones and Firefox) and 10ten[1] (Safari macOS/iOS, Chrome-clones, Firefox) function similarly. There’s a few other community-built tools that are made to work with these extensions like mokuro[2] and subadub[3].

Use Yomichan with the Kanjium pitch accents dictionary installed (on that page).

I think anything you can use yomichan with could be very helpful since you don't need to worry about searching manually for kanji or use OCR. (don't know if there's any way to really use it with games other than visual novels though). Having the ability to just instantly get a definition pulled up for anything is so useful and saves a lot of time (not to mention using it for adding cards to anki in an instant).

For Japanese the most popular add on is called Yomichan, which has Firefox and Chrome versions: https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/

I also recommend you install Yomichan so you can look up definitions of words while you read in the browser. Spend 15 minutes (at first) per day just getting used to the wording of sentences, then when you feel like it's hard but not impossible then ramp that up to 1+ hours per day. You won't make decent progress if you don't read, and there's never a bad time to start.

But anyways it's a the best dictionary I've ever seen, I'd recommend to consider using it in case if you need some example sentences or you're completely stuck at understanding a word. For Japanese-English dictionaries I know only these ones: https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/

the only thing I was able to find is this https://github.com/egegungordu/yomichan-with-example-sentences, but it is not exactly what you are looking for
