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 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

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

II need some crowd-sourcing to get the tags of your, yes, your, past kills and deaths! If anyone is kind enough, please fill your kills into the google doc:
Google Drive

What i will do with that information:

1. Collect loads of tags for killmails. Because people are tagging their own pask kills/losses, I assume that they know what they are doing
2. Use it for machine learning, or cluster the data and use it to stick Labels on them
3. Check how much players agree with their own labelling amongst each-other
4. Check how much they agree with automatic labeling

your iframe is broken so it wont work in chrome.
Also the rest of the HTML is horribly broken as well.

Cool idea, hope you get the data you need! I just did 10 random, may do some more later, if I remember.

The chrome issue is due to the killboard you are embedding setting a header asking not to be embedded outside of their domain, to quote the error console: "Refused to display 'killboard' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'."

Works fine on the igb though.
