Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How common is false banning in chess?
For Lichess, you can get some sort of idea from reading the code. If I remember correctly, there's some threshold for the site suspecting you of cheating based on a variety of simple metrics (accuracy, blurring, etc) and then it gets sent to machine learning tools to analyze (here is one of them, and here's another).

Spotting a cheater: Stats analysis
Yeah Irwin is the old lichess model - here (https://github.com/clarkerubber/irwin) as well as the more maintained fork (https://github.com/lakinwecker/irwin/commits/master)

Lichess - Cheaters, bots, AI-based human hybrid opponents
This is nonsense. They’re a free and open source nonprofit with no interest in commercial buyers. I’ve played on lichess for 3 years, over which time I’ve never encountered more than 1 cheater within 10 games (and normally much less than that). Because the website is open source, you can see the cheat detection they use. It’s not perfect — there is no perfect system — but it’s transparent and in my experience very good.
- A question for technologists: can we start an open-source cheat-detection engine that becomes the gold standard of cheat detection engines?
- Can we see the Lichess cheat detection stuff?
- Banned for cheating, appealed, denied. What now?

Are Super-GMs far more cautious in opening choice than they were even ten years ago?
There's extremely detailed information on how Stockfish's neural network evaluation works, but none of this will tell you the why of why the engines' assessment changed: https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/blob/master/docs/nnue.md
- Why are people using bitboards for chess input?
- Resources for learning and implementing a NNUE for a chess engine?

I am the first author of Stockfish. Ask me anything.
If you want a readable explanation of all the details, this document is phenomenal.
- What's a simple engine to modify? (Preferably in Python)

"RL Fine-Tuning: Scalable Online Planning via Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning", Fickinger et al 2021 {FB}
Getting SOTA in chess would be earth-shattering, especially since Stockfish has now adopted very light-weight NNs (called NNUE) and has doubled down on alpha-beta search, regaining the upper hand against A0 style programs.
- Where would an absolute beginner to neural networks start when trying to learn how to build a NNUE evaluation function?

Stockfish 14 Released
Stockfish NNUE is deep network. You can find out more about it's architecture and internal working here:
https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/blob/master/docs/n...
It's pretty interesting read.
