Abstract: In this research, the proposed deep learning network uses H2O framework using Multi-layer Feed Forward Network. Statistics of the 592 FIFA world cup Matches collected and used to train Naïve Bayes, k-NN and deep learning networks. As observed, the efficiency of deep learning based network is superior as compared with Naïve Bayes and k-NN for prediction of sports especially football/ soccer using dataset of Match result and status. The prediction observed with 97.68% accuracy while keeping the training-testing ratio as 20:80 using Deep Learning using “Max-out with Dropout” activation function. The model k-NN and Naïve Bayes were trained with 80:20 training-testing ratio.
Keywords: Predictive Analytics, Deep Learning, Naïve Bayes, k-NN, FIFA.
