Yahoo predicts World Cup winner is Brazil

The World Cup is about to begin, and the research team of Yahoo CEO Marissa Marissa Mayer has known who the final winner is: Brazil. Yahoo says it has used the lightweight blog site Tumblr data to estimate the strengths of each national team and to figure out which team is most likely to win. The analysis by the Yahoo team of scientists is based on the premise that all the World Cup discussions on Tumblr have valuable information. Football fans are very noisy, said the Yahoo team of scientists. But fans are not just noisy at the stadium, they also make speeches and insights in various social media. Although you may think that these fans are playing the trumpet in social media, if you listen carefully, you will find a lot of valuable data-including answers to the most important questions: who will eventually win the championship? Yahoo's team said they screened 188.9 million articles from 83.1 billion Tumblr blogs for analysis, and they focused on 27.3 million World Cup-related posts from February to May. To find out which countries will compete against each other, we must give each team an advantage. The research team said. These values are calculated on a per-game basis and provide the most representative score. For each game, Yahoo will use a probability theory called Poisson distribution to estimate the number of goals each team can score, such as the national team mentioned in the World Cup-related posts, and the national team mentioned in the football-related posts. Yahoo, for example, predicts that Germany will defeat Portugal, while Spain will defeat the Netherlands. Using this system, Yahoo calculates the ultimate World Cup champion, Brazil.
