About the ranking

Jev compares Wikipedia topics in pairs or groups using their titles and short descriptions. Ratings estimate its relative preference; higher-rated topics are more likely to win a comparison.

Scores fit the saved choice history after each job: Bradley–Terry for pairs, generalized to top-choice Plackett–Luce when group choices are included. Each group winner contributes one observation. Comparison counts and win rates reflect pairwise choices only; group appearances do not count as extra pairwise games.

Search matches titles and descriptions, including close title spellings. Results initially follow search relevance; click a table heading to change the order. The rank remains each topic’s position in the full Jev ranking.

The collection combines daily and five-year English Wikipedia pageview collections. The five-year selection comes from a broad candidate pool.

Requested model: typesafe-ai/jev
Comparison prompt: Which of these two things do you prefer overall? Use your own subjective judgment. Compare the actual things or topics described, not the quality of the Wikipedia writing. Choose exactly one.
