Students at the Technical University of Munich have developed an application to predict which character has the best chance to claim the coveted Iron Throne in the HBO hit medieval fantasy series about warring families.
慕尼黑工業大學的學生們開發了一個應用程式，用來預測這個關於眾交戰家族的熱門ＨＢＯ中世紀奇幻影集，當中哪個角色最有機會奪得令人垂涎的鐵之王座。
They have taught the application to scour the web for information about each of the characters, which is then processed by artificial intelligence algorithms to assess their survival chances.
他們教這個應用程式在網路上搜查每個角色的資料，然後交由人工智慧演算法運算評估他們的倖存機會。
There is a good chance the application will get it right.
這個應用程式很有可能會判斷正確。
Back in 2016, an algorithm created by students at the same university in the southern German city shortly before the start of Season 6 accurately predicted that Jon Snow would resurrect.
