EVE General Discussion

Good time of the void - Update 16/03/2014

I am creating software that will automatically classify kills. It's part of my uni degree, and a project on machine learning and data analysis. I had a little bit of success, and now I need more data.
I learnt a bit of php and put together a php script that makes ranking kills quick and easy. I need some crowd-sourcing to get the tags of your, yes, your, past kills and deaths, or rank kills of random people and earn isk. Here!

40mill for 10 of your own kills, ranked <-- Still putting together the script
10mill for 10 random kills ranked

This is until I run out of money, 500 mill for each category. You can navigate away from the page, check related kills and etc. put you must rank the kill that opened.

What's the use of this in Eve?
Imagine pulling up statistics on the game, and figuring out how performance of hyperion has improved after the recent patch, and if you should get yourself a pvp fitted one. Well, you are not interested in people dying to NPC's, or getting ganked in low-sec when they where trying to mine in it. A program like this could filter through all the noise and focus precisely on the kills you are interested in.

Or being an alliance leader and looking at a report from your recent

It turns out people are not that willing to fill in spreadsheets in their spare time, so I when ahead and leart a bit of php to make this easy. have picked a bunch of categories off the

What is it useful for in the real world?
Kills in eve are quite similar to real crimes, you know a lot about the victim, but not much about the attackers besides how many of them there where, and what they where armed with. And that's often wrong *looks at CCP*. IBecides that, it's an excersize in large data analysis, and there is a slim chance we will discover something new. And I get my degree

What will you do with the data?
I am going to see how well my automatic classifier performs and compare it to performance of people, taking those that ranked their own kills as the gold standard. Then i will write up my degree paper.
Then make a few (hopefull) pretty graphs and post them on the forums.
I am quite happy to make the final dataset publicly available if there is interest.

How do I know I will get my money?
This is an officially approved research project, so if you complain to the university management I would get a slap on the wrist
I have 500 million to spend on categorised kills of others, and 500 mill for kills of yourself. The isk will be issued on First come-first serve basis, and you will need to correctly quote your IP to receive your reward. I might add more ISK to the pot, but I do not guarantee it. If your Ip is dynamic, type "What is my IP" into Google and make note of yours.
Check How many Records where filled in so far

Can't I choose values, screw up your data and earn some isk?
Yes, you probably could make me a sad panda

Why dont you have X as an option?
post below, and I might add it if I think it makes sence

Because what "Spreadsheets in Space" needs is...























MORE SPREADSHEETS!!!!

It would make my life a little easier if I could track my mega kills

It's a separate category, I just just couldn't be bothered to define it

That still happens?

Yes. Yes it does.

A destroyed ship is either a market opportunity or, erh, another market opportunity.
