| """export_dataset.py - generates the portable, DERIVED/synthetic sample dataset. | |
| This script does NOT read any live database, and it does NOT copy or | |
| transform raw rows from football-data.co.uk or any other third-party | |
| match-data provider. It generates a synthetic-but-realistic set of | |
| engineered match features and 1X2 outcome | |
| labels, distributed to match the empirical priors used in production | |
| (class balance ~46% home win / 27% draw / 27% away win, which mirrors | |
| publicly documented long-run baselines for the 5 European top-flight | |
| leagues the production pipeline covers). | |
| Why synthetic and not a real-data aggregate: | |
| - football-data.co.uk's commercial-use / redistribution terms for this | |
| project were flagged as unverified in the ingestion code itself | |
| (ml-service/app/ingestion/datasets/football_results_2018_2026.py, | |
| LICENSE = "Verificare commercial use con football-data.co.uk"). | |
| - The other live-odds third-party source integrated elsewhere in the | |
| monorepo pipeline is explicitly non-redistributable in any form (its | |
| ingestion config flags it `is_public_redistribution_allowed=False`) | |
| and no row from it is ever touched by this export script. | |
| - Production Postgres (sport_intelligence.fixture) is never read from a | |
| public repo context. | |
| - Generating a synthetic sample sidesteps the licensing question | |
| entirely: no third-party row, raw or aggregated, is shipped. Only the | |
| feature SCHEMA (column names/semantics) is derived from the real | |
| pipeline (app/sport_intelligence/features/db_extractor.py | |
| FEATURE_NAMES_V2), which is this project's own original engineering | |
| work, not third-party data. | |
| The 25 features generated here match FEATURE_NAMES_V2 from | |
| app/sport_intelligence/features/db_extractor.py: | |
| dc_p_home, dc_p_draw, dc_p_away, elo_p_home, elo_p_draw, elo_p_away, | |
