How to optimize AnkiDroid to increase words memorizing per day?

[Ziyahan ALBENiZ]

Hi;

I am using AnkiDroid, I aim to memorize  30-40 words per day. How can I optimize it? I opened alerts and set words` limit per day to 35. Is it enough or, shoud I set other parameters?

Are there best practises that are used by you.

Settings don't affect your ability to memorise. The probability in one setting is offset by another. Your ability to memorise demand on your age, intelligence, discipline, time, concentration etc.

Also, no one here or on Tenderapp would be able to tell you how to optimise SRS "portfolio", they can only give you vague and bullsh1t advice with no academic or scientific evidence. Not even the author of the Anki program because he simply borrowed the algorithm from Supermemo. The most qualified person in in SRS optimisation would probably be Piotr Wozniak, the author of Supermemo, but even then I would only take it with grain of salt because he got his PhD and other qualifications from some no-name university in Poland.

So unless someone does come up with a "portfolio theory" (like CAPM/APT) equivalent for SRS from a proper institution like Harvard or Stanford and wins a Nobel Prize for it. We will never be able to optimise Anki portfolio. There is simply not enough research into this field.

Is that 35 new words per day? Or 35 review words per day? If you want to add about 30-40 words a day on average, you should set your new word count to be that, and then you should set your review high enough so it lets you review all cards every day. I find that review maxes out around 100 reviews necessary for each 20 new cards, so you should exect 40 new per day to hit around the 200 review mark, so I recommend you set reviews to 400. That's my advice.

You're merely mentioning two variables with a obvious correlation. You can simply eliminate this restriction by setting review at 9999, so why is this even mentioned in your advice? 

First we don't know if 35-40 is a good number, it's an arbitrary number op picked like everyone else.

Lets just assume there are only two variables, the amount of time OP wants to spend on Anki, and number of cards reviewed per minute. Assuming all cards are already made and there are no other factors number of mature and learning cards already in the collection. 

OP needs to find his delta, change in review number per day over change in number of new cards added per day. Assuming the correlation is linear, using simple linear regression, may we can find the optimal number of new cards per day. 

I think this would be the basic anki modelling to optimisation, hopefully some genius can come up with a proper econometric model with hard empirical evidence.

All other "advice" with number to back it up is just waste of time.

Whatever Xiao, seriously. Insist on perfect absolute scientific knowledge before someone speaks all you want. I offered what I have on hand -- SHOOT ME
