Anki Leech Detector: Advanced Card Analysis

Introduction

This add-on aims to offer new ways to understand how your card might not be leeches, based on more criteria than simply looking at lapses count.

To understand better the algorithm, check my blog about this algorithm.

Features

Card Info View

Added new field to see the Leech status of a card and the key metrics allowing to determine if it's a leech or not.

You can add to your queries new options to filter leeches:

* leeches:all

* leeches:active

* leeches:recovering

* leeches:recovered

* leeches:healthy

Those flags combine as "OR", meaning the result will be all results merged.

You can also specify custom leech detection thresholds, those are valid searches:

* leeches:active[drop_count=5,drop_ratio=.5]

* leeches:active[drop_count=5]

* leeches:active[drop_ratio=.5]

* leeches:recovered[drop_count=1,drop_ratio=.5] leeches:active[drop_count=5,drop_ratio=.5]

Note:

* All custom filters are under the hood replaced by *, and then only the search is filtered. So, (A leeches:active) OR (B leeches:recovered) will be equal to (A *) OR (B *) AND (leeches:active OR leeches:recovered). If you want proper evaluation of such queries, you should populate a card field with the leech status and filter on it like you would do with any normal card fields.

* If you specify more than once the same type of leeches filter, the last one will have priority. Example leeches:active[drop_count=1] leeches:active[drop_count=2] the drop_count=2 will replace the drop_count=1.

Stats / Plugins Search

leeches:* filters are also supported in Stats screens and plugins doing card searches (for example Search Stats Extended).

This compatibility patch is enabled by default.

You can disable it in the add-on config in Anki with "enable_stats_graphs_patch": false.

Restart after this change.
