This is a pretty good into to NN for those who are unfamiliar.

Any update on this? I'm pretty interested

Any update on this? I'm pretty interested

I've done some reading and have decided on some architectures that I think I'm going to try. I've also done some preprocessing of the data, to keep the training algorithm separate from the data format. I have a job taking my time, so getting this project done might take a while. At the moment I hope to have this finished by fall.

Out of curiosity : are you using a custom application (if so, what language are you using) or are you using Matlab?

I'll do the input processing in C# and use a Matlab macro for training. I'm not sure what the rules are about using Matlab's neural network toolbox, so I may have to write my own implementation.

I'm also looking at the data, but I'm more interested in which maps are played how often, the most popular size of maps, and if certain people play better on certain sized maps.

Unfortunately, that data dump seems to be missing the gameID for it's entries, which makes handling it a little difficult.

I have some very preliminary results that I'd like to compare to what TrueSkill gives us, so that we know how much accuracy can be expected. Any ideas on how to do that? I would not be too thrilled though, atm the best architecture is correct only about 61% of the time.

lie < huge lie < stats.

Hey ckitching that dropbox link doesn't work anymore. Any chance of getting another database dump?

Omfg the link you showed is really amazing, I didn't know this before and it's amazing, I really love it, even if it's not really easy to make it (but not too hard), thanks you very much for this discovery !

sorry for derailing but

ODIN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
