Deep Neural Network Benchmarks for Selective Classification

1 code implementation23 Jan 2024 Andrea Pugnana, Lorenzo Perini, Jesse Davis, Salvatore Ruggieri

The selective classification framework aims to design a mechanism that balances the fraction of rejected predictions (i. e., the proportion of examples for which the model does not make a prediction) versus the improvement in predictive performance on the selected predictions.

Biases in Expected Goals Models Confound Finishing Ability

no code implementations18 Jan 2024 Jesse Davis, Pieter Robberechts

We found that sustained overperformance of cumulative xG requires both high shot volumes and exceptional finishing, including all shot types can obscure the finishing ability of proficient strikers, and that there is a persistent bias that makes the actual and expected goals closer for excellent finishers than it really is.
