Related Issues or bug
In sports analytics, accurate prediction of match outcomes remains a challenging task due to the numerous variables influencing game dynamics. Traditional models often rely on general team statistics, which may not capture the nuances of individual player contributions. This project addresses the problem of predicting World Cup outcomes by integrating player-specific data into a Character Embedding deep learning model. The objective is to analyze how player names and historical match data impact prediction accuracy, ultimately enhancing the understanding of feature importance in sports outcome modeling.
Fixes: #848
Proposed Changes
The "World Cup Prediction with Deep Learning" project aims to predict the outcomes of FIFA World Cup matches using historical data and player information, leveraging a Character Embedding model developed in TensorFlow. The primary goal is to use a deep learning approach to achieve approximately 80% accuracy in predicting match results based on specific features, including team rosters and match history. By constructing player embeddings and applying them in a neural network model, this project demonstrates the importance of data features and model architecture in generating predictions for complex, multi-faceted sports events.
