Five games, one map.hoops · pitch · gridiron · equities · unified

Models, picks, proof. One map.

dumbmodel.com is the hub for five daily guessing games built on the same idea: turn a player, a club or a company into a vector, then let you find its nearest neighbours. Hoops covers 12,966 NBA player-seasons, Pitch 633 World Cup tournaments, Gridiron 5,323 NFL player-weeks, Equities 283 public companies, and Unified fuses hoops, gridiron and pitch into one 64-d space. The map below is a layout of that idea, not the trained embedding: it is generated in the browser so the page works offline; each game serves its real vectors on its own site.
