Artificial intelligence predicts who will win the World Cup in Qatar

Winner FIFA World Cup in Qatar will depend on many things, from luck to preparation football players. All this may seem like something immeasurable. However, if we look at the results of previous championships, we can make some predictions with the statistics on hand. And that’s exactly what the algorithm did artificial intelligence (AI) developed by scientists from Alan Turing InstituteFrom United Kingdom.

This is not a random prediction, like a famous one. octopus floor. This took into account the results of international football matches since 1872. This includes world championships, as well as matches of other types.

All were used for train AI, but with different weights, depending on what type they were. Greater importance was given World, mainly because they are equivalent to what is currently being played in Qatar. After that, it was decided to continue continental, qualifying and finally friendly. This way the AI ​​was able to calculate which teams were most likely to win. The first was Brazil, which surprised no one. But immediately after him come other teams with great players.

Which team will win the World Cup in Qatar?

AI algorithm used by these researchers Bayesian statistics to calculate the most likely score for each match. Then, with those points, he progressed, match after match, until he figured out who would be the winner.

First of all, it is found BrazilWith 25% chance to win. This is the team that has won the most World Cups and has some of the best players in the world. You might think that this was the main AI data. However, as more importance was given to later championships, some teams that did not have as many titles also scored very well.

Second, the AI ​​ranked Belgium and then Argentina. The latter has won only two championships, while Belgium has never won gold. In addition, in the fourth position Francefifth England and in the sixth Spain.

Thus, it can be considered that these are AI favorites as the winners of the World Cup in Qatar. However, it is also necessary to take into account restrictions.
