Predicting e-sports winners with Machine Learning

Video game/E-sports streaming is a huge and ever rising market. In the world championship of League of Legends (LoL) last year, one semifinal attracted 106 million viewers, even more than the 2018 Super Bowl. Another successful example is Twitch, where thousands of players broadcast their gameplay to millions of viewers.

Visor, a company that provides personalized game analytics to players, wants a model to estimate the winning rate of a team in real time.

“Cracking” Morse code with RNNs

Spoiler alert: Morse code doesn’t really need cracking. Its useful because messages can be sent using this code with minimal equipment, and I say it doesn’t need cracking because the code is well known and what the combinations of dots and dashes stand for is no secret. But, in theory, it is a substitution cipher — where each letter of the alphabet (and each digit) has some representation using dots and dashes, as illustrated below.
