Is the "Ada" algorithm that Clinton camp had used for data analysis of campaign campaign cause defeat?

ByKristopher Harris

Why did Mr. Hillary Clinton, who was dominant in opinion polls, lose in the election campaign? A variety of analyzes are done about that. Mr. Clinton emphasized data analysis during the election campaign, but the analysis used at this time was "AdaAlgorithm by. The Washington Post considers what the Ada is and why he could not do the right analysis.

- Clinton's data - driven campaign relied heavily on an algorithm named Ada. What did not she see? - The Washington Post

In the 19th century, mathematician Charles Babbage is a mechanical general-purpose computerAnalysis institutionAlthough I developed Italian-language Babbage lecture translated into English and translated poet ·ByronIt was her only daughter and a mathematicianAda · Lovelessis. The text of Loveless mentions the possibility of an analytical institution that Babbage himself did not notice and contributed greatly to the development of computers. However, the historical importance of Loveless himself tended to be overlooked. For this reason, in 1980 the Pentagon adopted her name for a new programming language and named it "Ada".

Ada is a reliable and maintainable programming language. Because the Clinton camp has called the algorithm written by Ada "Ada", The Washington Post and The New Yorker introduce the algorithm used by the Clinton campaign as "Ada", so here is the Clinton camp We explain how the algorithms used by you were used as "Ada algorithm".

Mr. Clinton's election activities were based on data analysis, but the aide advised the Ada algorithm specifically. Mr. Clinton said that the Ada algorithm was used in every decision, including when and where to make a speech, where to broadcast the television commercials, and the concerts supported by Beyonce and Jay-Z by Mr. Clinton. And at this time the algorithm was operated by different servers to ensure security and only the senior aide could access it.

A number of public opinion figures and data including public and private things were given to the Ada algorithm. Based on these data, the Ada algorithm issued 400,000 simulations per day on "how the election campaign against playing cards is going on". The Ada Algorithm has also published the material "What kind of fierce battle area is at risk" and "Where resources and time should be allocated" handed to the election secretary's lobby · Mukku.

Using analytics for elections is by no means a new thing. However, the analysis that the Clinton camp was doing was more complicated than the analysis that President Obama and Romney came in during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. So why was Mr. Clinton defeated?

For example, Mr. Clinton visited Pennsylvania frequently as analysis of the Ada algorithm showed that Pennsylvania became very important early on, and as one of the last gatherings held on Monday the 7th I also choose the state of Pennsylvania. In this way, analysis of the Ada algorithm was correct, but on other hand, the importance of other states was not indicated, or there was a problem that it was too late to be shown. Regarding Michigan province where it became a fierce battle, Mr. Clinton said that he visited for the first time at the last meeting held just before the election.

As many of the political circles were, the Ada algorithmLast beltWe too underestimated the country voters located in the area. Predicting the future is still difficult for both human beings and computers, and many laws and political things that are now controversial have the possibility of relying too much on data , The Washington Post suggests.
