Machine Learning Meets Mental Training -- A Proof of Concept Applied to Memory Sports
This is an incremental application of existing methods to a new domain (memory sports).
This paper applied machine learning to competitive memory sports as a proof of concept, aiming to raise awareness and encourage research in this mixed field.
This work aims to combine these two fields together by presenting a practical implementation of machine learning to the particular form of mental training that is the art of memory, taken in its competitive version called "Memory Sports". Such a fusion, on the one hand, strives to raise awareness about both realms, while on the other it seeks to encourage research in this mixed field as a way to, ultimately, drive forward the development of this seemingly underestimated sport.
