Introducing NewsMatch
19
Today, we're excited to share NewsMatch, an experimental feature that aims to enhance the forecasting experience by equipping you with related news and analysis. NewsMatch was created in collaboration with our friends at [Improve The News](https://www.improvethenews.org/), a non-profit news aggregator developed by MIT researchers that gives readers more control over their news intake. NewsMatch uses a semantic similarity model to match Metaculus questions to news stories from across the globe, presenting you with a list of articles most likely to be relevant. The goal is to make it easier to update forecasts, incorporate information from diverse sources, and identify new lines of reasoning by placing relevant information directly within view. We're rolling this out gradually -- at this point NewsMatch is only active on about 100 questions. Here are some examples you can check out: 1. [What will be the UK's peak 7-day moving average of COVID hospital admissions for the winter of 2021-2022?](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/8913/uk-hospital-admissions-peak-for-winter-21-22/) 2. [If the 2024 US Presidential Election is Trump vs. Biden, will Trump win? ](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/8483/trump-victory-if-biden-v-trump-2024/) 3. [Will India have at least 200 nuclear warheads at the end of 2023?](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/8140/india-have-200-nuclear-warheads-by-2024/) 4. [Will the Fed decrease the size of its accumulated asset portfolio below $8 trillion by 2023?](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/8299/fed-trimming-size-of-asset-portfolio/) You'll notice on the right-hand side there's an opportunity to rate the quality of the match. The machine-learning model driving the article matching is always improving -- you can accelerate its improvement by sharing your feedback and clicking the rate button.  NewsMatch is an ongoing experiment, and we're working to enhance it in a number of ways. Let us know what you'd like to see!
