# TermWeightAttenuationFactor

The factor to reduce the term weight by when you add new training that does not contain that term.

When a ProfileUser action returns an existing profile, IDOL Community Component decreases the weights of any terms in the profile that do not match the new training by the `TermWeightAttenuationFactor`, or by a minimum of TermWeightAttenuationMinimum points.

If this change reduces the score to zero or lower, IDOL Community Component removes the term from the training.
