As I have written in my last two articles (Machine Learning Everywhere and Preparing Data for Machine Learning), machine learning is influencing our lives in numerous ways.

Machine learning is everywhere, and although the theory and practice both can take some time to learn and internalize, the basics are fairly straightforward for people to learn.

The basic idea behind machine learning is that you build a model—a description of the ways the inputs and outputs are related. This model then allows you to ask the computer to analyze new data and to predict the outputs for new sets of inputs. This is essentially what machine learning is all about.

Referendum 2016 in Italy – Forecast

Leave a reply

As for the USA Presidential Forecast I used my algorithm with some (better: many)  needed changes to adapt it to the Italian Referendum scenario.

Today, it is not possible to publish the results due to the Italian laws about referendum but I created a .png file that shows them. Then I obtained an on-line timestamp by http://www.originstamp.org/  and so I will be able to publish the .png forecast file tomorrow proving exactly when I created it.
