Have you seen Metacademy? Here is a "tech-tree" for recurrent neural networks [0]. In the top-left corner you can switch between "graph" and "list" mode. Unfortunately, site hasn't been updated for some time. However, they have open sourced their code and I was thinking maybe we (volunteers) could pick up where they left off and continue this initiative. Previous discussion [2].

Edit: added previous discussion to the list.

Out of curiosity, how viable is a search engine for hackers (in terms of a business model)? What are some "weaknesses" of Google that this search engine might take advantage of? One thing I noticed is the amount of "low-quality" pages that appear on the page#1 for popular keywords.

I found spacy's documentation lacking in details on how to train NER from scratch (at least I couldn't make sense of it). That's why I decided to stick with Stanford's NER.

Regarding disambiguation: People usually mention books with their respective authors, so it takes one query against the local database to check whether entity is indeed a particular book by a particular author. When no author is mentioned, I check parent comment (if any) to find if the given book is mentioned there. Well, and if comment turns out to be standalone then I query Goodreads / Google Books API. Given books with identical titles, these APIs return the most popular option.

But how do you choose which resources (books, articles, courses..) to include? Is it performed algorithmically or by hand? I was working on the similar project (dependency trees for concepts) and the biggest roadblock I faced was the addition of new resources, since it is laborious, doesn't scale well and is pretty subjective.
