Systems and methods for predicting aspects of an unknown event

A method comprising:

• providing, by an electronic device, a plurality of possible parameters via a user interface, wherein the plurality of possible parameters relate to an actual or hypothetical event having an as-yet unknown outcome;
• receiving, via the user interface of the electronic device, an input indicative of one or more predicted parameters, wherein the one or more predicted parameters constrain the as-yet unknown outcome;
• transmitting the one or more predicted parameters to a server, wherein the server generated a set of pre-recorded events by:
• (i) detecting a plurality of events within a video, using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to detect events associated with a respective set of parameters within videos, (ii) creating video clips based on the detected plurality of events within the video, and (iii) adding the video clips to a library of pre-recorded events, each video clip being added to the library in association with the respective set of parameters of the video clip;
• receiving, by the electronic device and from the server, a pre-recorded event for display;
• displaying, via the user interface, the pre-recorded event;
• receiving information indicative of a result of the unknown outcome;
• and
• displaying, via the user interface, result information, wherein the result information is based on a comparison between the one or more predicted parameters and the result of the unknown outcome.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, that when executed by a computing system comprising one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• generating a set of pre-recorded events by:
• detecting a plurality of events within a video using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to detect events associated with a respective set of parameters within videos;
• creating video clips based on the plurality of events detected within the video;
• and
• adding the video clips to a library of pre-recorded events, each video clip being added to the library in association with the respective set of parameters of the video clip;
• providing, to an electronic device, a plurality of possible parameters relating to an actual or hypothetical event having an as-yet unknown outcome;
• receiving, from the electronic device, a selection of at least one predicted parameter of the plurality of possible parameters, the at least one predicted parameter constraining the as-yet unknown outcome;
• generating, using a random number generator (RNG), a combination of parameters selected from the plurality of possible parameters so as to provide generated parameters;
• retrieving, from the library of pre-recorded events, a pre-recorded event associated with the generated parameters;
• transmitting, to the electronic device, the retrieved pre-recorded event for display;
• comparing the at least one predicted parameter with the generated parameters to determine a result;
• and
• transmitting, to the electronic device, the determined result for display.
