It’s something I like (math and networks) on a subject I like (football) but the AI tone is so heavy I get turned off. It’s far beyond my load-bearing capacity.
(tldr - a subset of teams get paired dispropotionally often in UEFA Champions League when compared to random, lowering average points taken away and thus harming chances for this ingroup and increasing chances for the outgroup; it’s interesting stuff; the group differs per year)
Shame, it's a cool idea, but the writing is so full of claudism's my mind skims over it completely.
Bit of an embarrassment to publish that as a published researcher, to be honest.
