Happy March!
For many Americans, March means Basketball (or NCAA snacks, like Buffalo Chicken Dip). I’ve tried a couple of dozen different ways to fill out March Madness brackets. Not because I know sports, but because I really don’t.
I’ve picked teams based on color wheels, randomly, by the length of team names, which team mascot would win in a fight, etc. This year, I’ve decided to take a more scientific stance.
I created a neural network to learn about Basketball for me, then I challenged many of the “sports people” in my life to a bracket-off (it’s like a dance-off, for brackets). To see how well the algorithm does, against good ol’ sports knowledge and understanding.

Want to challenge the bot? Send me an email at Nick@Winnenberg.Org with your bracket and your strategy for selecting your teams.
See you here in a couple of weeks!
In the meantime, Stay Curious!
