Nigeria will defeat Iceland by one goal in today’s world cup match, at least if the prediction by Nyra, an artificial intelligence platform becomes a reality.
AI platforms like Cortana in the last world cup had some good record in accurate predictions in football tourneys, and there have been others in the last few years.
Nyra, an artificial intelligence chatbot built by KariXchangeo collates data using user experience and installed data made available with the cloud. According to the programme’s developers, it is created to serve as a service and social chatbot.
According to Edward Amanambu, chief operating officer of KariXchange, Nyra was initially conceived as a service bot for one of its future applications, and it is an intelligent bot that serves to be better than the likes of Siri and Alexa. Nyra he says, which will be incorporated into an undisclosed project which he claims will storm Nigeria, when released in the next two months.
The accuracy of this bot is yet to be known but today’s match provides a good avenue for testing. It is believed to operate using artificial intelligence which it configures in providing interactive responses to users. Operations came alive ahead of time to help users enjoy the football season while improving Nyra receptiveness in providing (as accurate as possible) responses which are based on prediction but backed by concrete existing data.
Emeka Onyezido, Creative director of Karixchange, also explained that Nyra is built on a linux server with the aid of Microsoft Azure and compiled by sets of code using python programming language, based on Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML). Nyra’s artificial intelligence system works with a set of interconnected agents that forms a neural network which mimics human behaviour.
