The website kickoff.ai was launched on June 7 by three PhD students at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) and is targeted at football lovers. "All three of us are football fans and we wanted to apply machine learning to a new data set," Victor Kristof, one of the brains behind kickoff.ai, While several other football results prediction models exist, kickoff.ai The first one is modelling individual players' performances, which ensures more variables are incorporated when predicting an outcome of a match.
