Steps
Steps
First, essential libraries are imported for handling data, visualization, and building machine
learning models:
The IPL dataset (ipl_data.csv) contains match-level data, including features like:
Venue
Date
Batting and bowling teams
Player-specific stats (batsmen, bowlers)
Metrics like runs, wickets, and overs
Data is loaded into a Pandas DataFrame using pd.read_csv, and the first few rows are
displayed to understand the structure.
Columns like date, mid, and others deemed irrelevant for the model are removed to focus on
meaningful attributes.
Categorical features (venue, bat_team, bowl_team, etc.) are encoded into numerical values
using LabelEncoder to make them suitable for model training.
The dataset is split into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets using train_test_split from
sklearn.
During training, the model minimizes the loss function, and the progress is visualized by
plotting the loss values.
Predictions are made on X_test_scaled, and the model's performance is evaluated using
metrics like:
Mean Absolute Error (MAE): Quantifies prediction error. The MAE score in this
project is approximately 9.63, indicating the average prediction error.
Conclusion
By leveraging deep learning techniques, the project accurately predicts IPL match scores
based on historical and player data. This model is beneficial for:
Strategic decision-making.
Enhancing fan engagement with live predictions.
