Microsoft cortana predicted 12 of 12 FIFA world cup football match result correctly !!

 

 Since Paul the Octopus the supposedly psychic octopus  who died in 2010 , became a world wide sensation when he made his mark predicting the outcome of Football games correctly predicting the winning team in eight of 2010 world cup matches  including the Final . Cortana is the hero of the moment surpassing  the Octopus, Who is Cortana? What is Cortana?  She has been predicting the result of world cup matches correctly, particularly at the knock out stages,(The prediction features just went live for the world cup's knockout stages she predicted that Germany will edge out Brazil before last night humiliating defeat of the Samba boys (Brazil) !! It also predicted that Germany's win over France,Brazil  over Colombia, Argentina over Belgium and Netherlands over Costa rica.  It is stunning the world with her incredibly accurate (12/12) predictions of winners of world cup matches ! The sport betting companies now appears to be in trouble, Those who loves to place bets on football matches are now eager to know what Cortana have to say perhaps it will earn them some cool money from Nairabet, 1960 bet and 365 bet .*Baba Ijebu things* i tried it out and made some $ 470 dollars in three matches (though i am not into football gambling) but tried it out curiosity.
But what is  Cortana ?  She  is a software application, an intelligent personal assistant , a digital assistant  by Microsoft, on window's phone 8.1 operating system available on an opt-in basis, The name Cortana originates from the artificial intelligence  character in the Halo  series. the application is a kind of silicon "secretary" who can make your life easier, instead of searching for things you simply ask her,weather forecast, how many pounds are in a kilo, when is Linda's Birthday, football predictions ETC you will ask and cartona will supply the answer.
Cortana has not lost a bet yet. The digital assistant predicted  the German national team would get the win  over Brazil in yesterday's match  and despite Brazil being a strong host she was right again!!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The prediction algorithm which  updates on a minute to minutes basis  relies highly on player specific data , The action and performances of  a handful of individuals solely determines who wins lose ,or draws, For the world cup, our model  evaluate the strength of each team through a variety of factors such as previous Win/loss/Draw record  in qualification matches and other international competitions and margin of victory in these matches and adjusted for location since home field advantage is also a factor in football.
 This technology powered by artificial intelligence can help us answer questions  weightier than Outcomes of football matches covering a range of topics and data. Cartona can be voice activated or you can type your questions or commands and she will respond in kind silently if you type and verbally if you voice.  perhaps one can get predictions of election results from cartona maybe...... what do you guys think please feel free to comment. oh  i forgot to add this,  CORTANA predicted that Argentina will beat Holland in today's second semi Final match of the 2014 FIFA World cup. Cortana prediction (Argentina to beat Netherlands), by implication Cortana has predicted a Germany vs Argentina World cup Grand Final. .
