Data Scientist, Freelance

STRATZ E-Sports•  August 2020 - October 2020

• Worked on predictive reinforcement learning models • Model is used to predict win probability of either team in real-time over the duration of a match of Dota2 • Model utilises neural network head with reinforcement learning finetuned architecture. • Created a script to optimise hyperparameters like number of layers, optimiser and learning rate. Used Hyperband (Li et al. 2018) approach to search for optimal hyperparameter.
