This is just a quick post to announce the return for the 7th year of the Machine Madness contest, for machine predictors to compete in a traditional bracket-style March Madness competition. Details can be found on this page. Last year, Dr. Amanda Schierz (aka "Bluefool") won the competition and ESPN immediately (*) sent a film crew all the way to England to interview her. Don't miss out on your chance to be a media star!
(*) If by immediately you mean a year later.
Please come compete, and let me know if you have any questions!
YESSSSSSS!
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone, excited for the newest iteration of Machine Madness!
ReplyDeleteI might submit this year, but I have to whip something up real quick.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "have your predictor fill out a bracket", is it fine to do something as simple as have a model spit out rankings and I just pick a "best one wins" by hand? In other words, what do you need to see to know it's actually a machine doing enough of the work for picking?
Yep, it's fine to use your model rankings to fill out your bracket. We trust you ;-)
