Here is a summary: - Features - Support parameters for sub-decks - Freeze initial stability in pre-training - Redesign the difficulty state - Fixes - Drop out cases with interval=0 - Update difficulty before stability - New module - FSRS4Anki Helper add-on - It can reschedule all existing cards via FSRS. > **[GitHub - open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki: An Anki custom scheduling based on...](https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki)** > > An Anki custom scheduling based on free spaced repetition scheduler algorithm - GitHub - open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki: An Anki custom scheduling based on free spaced repetition scheduler algorithm > **[GitHub - open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki-helper: An Anki add-on that...](https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki-helper)** > > An Anki add-on that reschedules all cards via FSRS4Anki scheduler - GitHub - open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki-helper: An Anki add-on that reschedules all cards via FSRS4Anki scheduler ---

Here is a simple comparison between Anki’s built-in schedule and FSRS: For simplicity, the comparison only focuses on the intervals given in different rating sequences. The ratings in (re)learning steps will be ignored, only consider the first rating of new cards. The default parameters of FSRS for comparison: ```javascript var w = [1, 1, 5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.2, 1.4, -0.12, 0.8, 2, -0.2, 0.2, 1]; ``` # Case one: press `good` continuously, with different first ratings. Rating sequence: `1,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3` Anki’s intervals: `1,3,8,20,50,125,313,783,1958,4895` FSRS’s intervals: `1,3,8,19,44,98,207,421,822,1550` * * * Rating sequence: `2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3` Anki’s intervals: `1,3,8,20,50,125,313,783,1958,4895` FSRS’s intervals: `2,5,13,32,73,159,331,659,1263,2338` * * * Rating sequence: `3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3` Anki’s intervals: `1,3,8,20,50,125,313,783,1958,4895` FSRS’s intervals: `3,8,21,50,114,245,501,983,1854,3377` * * * Rating sequence: `4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3` Anki’s intervals: `4,10,25,63,158,395,988,2470,6175,15438` FSRS’s intervals: `4,11,29,70,158,337,684,1329,2481,4471` > **[Compare Anki's built in scheduler and FSRS](https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/Compare-Anki's-built-in-scheduler-and-FSRS)** > > A modern Anki custom scheduling based on Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler algorithm - open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki ---

Sorry, it wasn’t clear to me: Do I still need to change the .js values on deck options? E.g. change decks name. I’m asking because, normally, the add-on itself do all the job - I wouldn’t have to set the value for “let maximumInterval = 36000;” . The instructions wasn’t clear for me. ---

The default parameters are not adaptive to everyone. If you want the schedule to fit your memory, you need to use the optimizer to calculate the optimal parameters. ---

@L.M.Sherlock If I understand correctly, in your paper, you have retrieved the default parameters by training on the ~220 million dataset from Maimemo (English vocabulary for chinese users). Does it make sense to expand this research further and ask for an open source dataset from the Anki community? Questions such as does the memory model fit well for other languages? Does the memory model fit well for all subjects? And many more. I feel like there’s untapped potential here and we can easily pool together a huge dataset for research, advancing the field of SRS ---

Of course, more datasets on diverse materials are beneficial to SRS research. I have analyzed some review logs from FSRS’s users. There are significant differences between them. ---

Are your rating sequences only when cards are in the “graduated” phase? In studying medicine, I frequently have a sequence of 1,1,1,1,3,1,3(graduates) and then 3,3,3,3,3,3,3 which means I’d follow the first path you’ve outlined after graduation. I’m curious how FSRS would compare with that. I haven’t had time to formally integrate this but I’m impressed with how far this has come and I’m eagerly following along! 加油! ---

The rating sequences contain the first rating in learning steps and other ratings after graduation. So in your case, the rating sequence is 1,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 ---

So I would end up reviewing a little more often on average than Anki’s default? As you did most of this on language, I’d be curious how it’d apply with medicine. I could collect databases for you? ---
