Maradona scored with his hand. Rivaldo acted and gave the opponent a red card. To bring out the football world cup from such memories, powerful video assistant referee has been added to the world cup in Qatar. However, there are equal memories of giving Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan a wrong lbw on TV replay in the T20 World Cup against Pakistan. In such a situation, some are calling VR the villain of the World Cup in Qatar. The question arises, why should human football be the game of angels?
Meanwhile, another robot has come forward in the field of accurate prediction of the game. Germany’s Octopus Paul has been replaced by the artificial intelligence robot program – ‘Kashef’.
Kashef has predicted the results of 24 matches since the start of the World Cup with the help of artificial intelligence technology, apart from the most talked about Argentina-Mexico match of the tournament. 14 of them were correct. Seven of the results were very close. There are three mistakes. As a result, it is a little ahead in terms of success.
Kashef mainly predicts by reviewing the style of play of the 32 teams participating in the World Cup, along with the skill and experience of the players and the history of the game. For this, Al-Jazeera has created a high-quality database with about 200 types of about 100,000 pieces of information. By quickly reviewing these data in the Google Cloud, Al Kashef has made about 71 percent accurate predictions.
According to the prediction of Kashef, in this year’s World Cup: Netherlands and Ecuador from Group A, England and USA from Group B, Saudi Arabia and Argentina from Group C, France and Denmark from Group D, Spain and Japan from Group E, Belgium and Croatia from Group F, Brazil and Switzerland from Group G and Portugal and Uruguay from Group H will get a chance to play in the second round. And after a few days, it will be understood that how much the predictions of Kashef matches with the top 16.
