An AI algorithm can predict who dies in Game of Thrones Season 6

HBO's Game of Thrones is notorious for killing off its major characters in various grisly ways, but it is often impossible to predict who will die next - unless you're an AI algorithm, it seems. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have put together a set of machine learning algorithms, which trawl through data from the books and TV show in order to predict who will be next for the chop. The team have set up a website - A Song of Ice and Data - where you can look over the list of most likely deaths, as well as looking at more in-depth statistics, such as whether men, women, lords or lowborn are more likely to die. The top two entries might not come as a surprise to many; toddler-king Tommen Baratheon has a 97 per cent probability of croaking, while there's a 96 per cent chance that his quasi-uncle Stannis Baratheon will be off to meet the Lord of Light this season. Some predictions are more surprising.
