Predicting college basketball match outcomes using machine learning techniques: some results and lessons learned

14 Oct 2013  ·  Albrecht Zimmermann, Sruthi Moorthy, Zifan Shi ·

Most existing work on predicting NCAAB matches has been developed in a statistical context. Trusting the capabilities of ML techniques, particularly classification learners, to uncover the importance of features and learn their relationships, we evaluated a number of different paradigms on this task. In this paper, we summarize our work, pointing out that attributes seem to be more important than models, and that there seems to be an upper limit to predictive quality.
