Can a PhD Student Use Predictive Analytics to “Beat The Sportsbook”?
UPDATED: The Data Science Report has created a new section “PhD PREDICTION PROJECTS!” In this section we are going to profile interesting predictive analytics projects by “up and coming” PhD and Masters students/recent grads.
Our first project looks at Eric Chalmer’s computer model that uses Machine Learning to predict the outcome and how much to wager on MMA/UFC fights. While initially a hobby, his algo’s have performed remarkably well (total return of 160%+) during the first 10 months and we’re tracking his predictions here. Read More
Hakka Labs| Computational Biology and Data Science at the New York Times
Hakka Labs has a very compelling video of Dr Chris Wiggin’s, Chief Data Scientist at the NYTimes and Columbia University Academic. He will talk about using machine learning and large data in both academia and in business.
He shares some ways re-framing domain questions as machine learning tasks has opened up new avenues for understanding both in academic research and in real-world applications. Read More
