Technical Aspects
Hi! my name is Miguel. I am a Ph.D. in Physics, and yes! I love football, machine learning and artificial intelligence. If you are wondering what is the reasoning behind the predictions, you will find information here:
- What are the predictions based on?
the predictions are based on the performance of the previous 5 games of every team.
- What kind of technologies have I used for the predictions?
I have tried several Machine Learning technologies for the predictions. In the end the most accurate and reliable turned out to be LightGBM. LightGBM, short for Light Gradient-Boosting Machine, is a free and open-source distributed gradient-boosting framework for Machine Learning, originally developed by Microsoft. It is based on decision tree algorithms and used for regression and classification tasks. The development focus is on performance and scalability.
Deep Soccer in the Media
- The Deep Soccer predictions before the World Cup 2022 in the spanish newspaper La Razón.
- Radio Interview for the sports journalist Pepe Brasin (in spanish).
- Deep Soccer Youtube channel with demos of the tool, coding tutorials etc.
And that is all folks. This is my little contribution to the world of predicting statistics in sports. A topic that I have been always passioned about. For comments or suggestions you can always contact me on admin@deep-soccer.com.
