As in I unlike the machine can take risks on Soulkey and gain 7 points while the machine has to now get 7 1 point votes correct to catch up. So while I'm at 60% I'm still doing really well with the high value votes That is so wrong 'take risks on Soulkey and gain 7 points...' that completely doesn't make sense, point value has no relation to how likely you are to be correct because whether it's worth 7 points or 1 it's still a 50-50 bet. | ||

But has theBB ever ran his prediction system against historical matches or even liquibet system? Maybe you have a 1 and subtract it by whoever won's pre-game chances. Rinse and repeat 1000 or so times. Then you have a relative benchmark that you can run as a test for future improvements as actually being improvements. Sort of like RMSE and trying to decrease it as much as possible, but in this case we don't really need to square and sqrt. That way we might be able to have a way of measuring how good the system is currently and a way to check the continuing progress and instead of giving 200 points randomly, we can give points that would go to optimizing the RMSE. Once again, I haven't actually looked in depth into this, so feel free to ignore my suggestion. Using the data in the DB to compare actual results with predicted results. After period 1, the model try to predict all the results entered in period 2. After period 2, the model try to predict all the results entered in period 3, using the results from period 1 & 2. Rinse and repeat. The models parameters are being optimized trying to raise the predictabillity.

That, I understood  But what I meant is who is he in real life ? Just a random master player who get to later stages of an online cup by sheer luck ? Or maybe an up-and-coming player no one noticed before ? | ||

Being born in Korea makes you 1% cyborg, so you're auto-better than a guy from Brazil or France or Ethiopia? I was loathe to try it for a good while, but I've warmed up to the idea. In the old system, it had taken the Koreans 3 years to gain a mean rating advantage on the foreign scene of about 140 points. When Koreans went abroad and participated in foreign tournaments, they consistently overperformed by several hundred points. When ForGG went to France he gained almost 500 points in only 3-4 months. Assuming his real skill didn't change too much over that time, that means he was underrated compared to the Europeans by at least 300 points. If I had left the system untouched, it would have taken something like 5 or 6 years until the ratings of Koreans had caught up to their actual level. That is unacceptable. It's a problem that you don't have in chess and other places where such ratings exist. I didn't have any papers to draw on, so I just came up with the best idea I could. It's definitely not racism. I don't subscribe to the idea that a higher Aligulac rating makes someone a more valuable human being. As for the offline weighing, I was also not willing to try it for a long time, but it also helps the Korean scene. You see, Koreans consistently play fewer games than foreigners do. This means that while the foreign ranking shows an accurate picture of today, the Korean ranking shows an accurate picture of two months back. That's also not acceptable. However, while Koreans do not play very often, when they do, they almost always play offline. So I consider the offline boost a way to speed up the inter-Korean adjustments, and the Korean boost a way to speed up the Korean-foreigner adjustments. There are two ways you can view ratings. You can consider it as a way to quantify actual real skill, or you can consider it a competition unto itself. I like both, but in Starcraft 2 I don't think it's possible to accommodate both viewpoints. If I make it fair like a competition, it will be a poor indicator of skill (it will claim Koreans are poorer than they actually are). With this change, I have decided to move more in the former direction. It's a better indicator of actual skill, but it cannot any longer be considered a "competition" since the rules are no longer fair. Well, so be it. | ||

What are you talking about? First off if one person has an 80% chance to win a game then even if it is between two people it doesn't mean it's 50/50, it's 80/20. People are not coins. It's not black and white/heads or tails otherwise the average person would have a 50% LB ratio. And a lot of the time it's predicting two people to make it through a group so that's an added variable to take into consideration. If you truly believe that MVP vs Idra is a 50/50 vote then don't reply because we will never see eye to eye on this. But your other statement that points don't make a difference in how right I am is true. But that wasn't my point so pay attention. The blog was about using the computer to make all your LB choices for you and that you can stay at the top using Aligulac. So if Innovation was favored in the computer then you lost 7 points by trusting the computer. I took a risk and went with Soulkey and it paid off. So my point is I can actually having a lower correct voting % then Aligulac but still have more points because I can take into all factors when choosing high point value votes. example: If Aligulac gets 7/10 votes correct and I got 6/10 correct. Does this mean I'm losing? No, not if my point total is higher then Aligulac. | ||

I just made a site... not my fault people are using it. xD I ordered a reboot, let's see what happens. Update 19:13 CEST: No news so far, the VPS dashboard is bugged too. I've submitted a ticket to the host, so that's all for the moment. Update 19:37 CEST: The host's websites are also not responding, now. Update 20:26 CEST: Service appears back to normal. | ||
