In this study, we analyze more than 6000 games and 10 million events in six European leagues and investigate this relation in soccer competitions. We discover that a team’s position in a competition’s final ranking is significantly related to its typical performance, as described by a set of technical features extracted from the soccer data. Moreover, we find that, while victory and defeats can be explained by the team’s performance during a game, it is difficult to detect draws by using a machine learning approach. We then simulate the outcomes of an entire season of each league only relying on technical data and exploiting a machine learning model trained on data from past seasons. The simulation produces a team ranking which is similar to the actual ranking, suggesting that a complex systems’ view on soccer has the potential of revealing hidden patterns regarding the relation between performance and success.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Letizia Milli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anna Monreale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giulio Rossetti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dino Pedreschi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fosca Giannotti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabrizio Sebastiani</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quantification in Social Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (IEEE DSAA'2015)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.giuliorossetti.net/about/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/main_DSAA.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paris, France</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In many real-world applications there is a need to monitor the distribution of a population across different classes, and to track changes in this distribution over time. As an example, an important task is to monitor the percentage of unemployed adults in a given region. When the membership of an individual in a class cannot be established deterministically, a typical solution is the classification task. However, in the above applications the final goal is not determining which class the individuals belong to, but estimating the prevalence of each class in the unlabeled data. This task is called quantification. Most of the work in the literature addressed the quantification problem considering data presented in conventional attribute format. Since the ever-growing availability of web and social media we have a flourish of network data representing a new important source of information and by using quantification network techniques we could quantify collective behavior, i.e., the number of users that are involved in certain type of activities, preferences, or behaviors. In this paper we exploit the homophily effect observed in many social networks in order to construct a quantifier for networked data. Our experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and the comparison with the existing state-of-the-art quantification methods shows that they are more accurate. </style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eirinakis, Pavlos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatore Ruggieri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Subramani, K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wojciechowski, Piotr</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">On quantified linear implications</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">71</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">301–325</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Quantified Linear Implication (QLI) is an inclusion query over two polyhedral sets, with a quantifier string that specifies which variables are existentially quantified and which are universally quantified. Equivalently, it can be viewed as a quantified implication of two systems of linear inequalities. In this paper, we provide a 2-person game semantics for the QLI problem, which allows us to explore the computational complexities of several of its classes. More specifically, we prove that the decision problem for QLIs with an arbitrary number of quantifier alternations is PSPACE-hard. Furthermore, we explore the computational complexities of several classes of 0, 1, and 2-quantifier alternation QLIs. We observed that some classes are decidable in polynomial time, some are NP-complete, some are coNP-hard and some are  ΠP2Π2P -hard. We also establish the hardness of QLIs with 2 or more quantifier alternations with respect to the first quantifier in the quantifier string and the number of quantifier alternations. All the proofs that we provide for polynomially solvable problems are constructive, i.e., polynomial-time decision algorithms are devised that utilize well-known procedures. QLIs can be utilized as powerful modelling tools for real-life applications. Such applications include reactive systems, real-time schedulers, and static program analyzers.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Letizia Milli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anna Monreale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giulio Rossetti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fosca Giannotti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dino Pedreschi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabrizio Sebastiani</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quantification Trees</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Data Mining, Dallas, TX, USA, December 7-10, 2013</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICDM.2013.122</style></url></web-urls></urls><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">528–536</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In many applications there is a need to monitor how a population is distributed across different classes, and to track the changes in this distribution that derive from varying circumstances, an example such application is monitoring the percentage (or &quot;prevalence&quot;) of unemployed people in a given region, or in a given age range, or at different time periods. When the membership of an individual in a class cannot be established deterministically, this monitoring activity requires classification. However, in the above applications the final goal is not determining which class each individual belongs to, but simply estimating the prevalence of each class in the unlabeled data. This task is called quantification. In a supervised learning framework we may estimate the distribution across the classes in a test set from a training set of labeled individuals. However, this may be sub optimal, since the distribution in the test set may be substantially different from that in the training set (a phenomenon called distribution drift). So far, quantification has mostly been addressed by learning a classifier optimized for individual classification and later adjusting the distribution it computes to compensate for its tendency to either under-or over-estimate the prevalence of the class. In this paper we propose instead to use a type of decision trees (quantification trees) optimized not for individual classification, but directly for quantification. Our experiments show that quantification trees are more accurate than existing state-of-the-art quantification methods, while retaining at the same time the simplicity and understandability of the decision tree framework.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal"
