That question alone will tell you how objective the scoring will be. The winner of the 100m dash is almost completely unambiguous and objective, but sports like figure skating will always be doomed to some subjectivity in the scoring.
- whizzter 5y agoJust hit me that it'd be quite interesting given the advances in ML to see how well a computervision based system could be able to evaluate jumps,etc from these sports. Once skeleton-detection is in, then a ML system given historical scores matching relative bone positions(with some adjustments for era proficiency, athlete physiology,etc) should be able to be fairly accurate in giving unbiased scores and be able to flag abberations in human judging.
