About b1o.co

b1o.co is a platform where users can vote for their favorite images. Inspired from the Elo rating system used in chess, each image is assigned a rating. When a user votes for an image, it's considered a "win" for that image against the one it was compared to. The winning image gains points depending on the difference in ratings between the two images. If the winning image had a lower rating initially, it would gain more points. Conversely, if it had a higher rating, it would gain fewer points. The losing image loses the same number of points that the winning image gains.

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifies the images, while a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is then used to analyze voting patterns and image characteristics. As always, any use of AI is done with the utmost respect for user privacy and without the use of cookies or any form of tracking.
The b1o.co API is written in Rust and uses the Actix web framework to provide a fast experience for users. If you find any issues or have suggestions for improvement, please submit them here.
