Microsoft scouting for TrueSkill experts
Major Nelson tells us Microsoft is on the lookout for an intern to help developing the TrueSkill system used on Xbox Live. So if you are doing your PhD in computer science, engineering, physics, or anything related to that, and are available for 3 months between May and September this year to work in the UK in Cambridge, feel free to have a go and improve our rankings! According to the Major though you will have to be able to understand this formula:
| exp(-(μA-μB)2)/(2*c2)) * √d |
| c2 = 2β2 + σ2winner + σ2loser |
| d = 2β2/c2 |
I think I’ll just stick to gaming mmmkay?
That is just some random rubbis!
