CNN to predict? Care to elaborate?

There are a few parts:
* by plotting the occurrences as dots on a bitmap, TS has transformed the data representation from time domain to frequency domain
* true randomness in a man-made system is a myth because whether the numbers are picked using a mechanical system (such as balls) or digital system (such as pseudo-random number generator), the randomness is affected by imperfections in the balls and the source of the random number generator (biases)
* the goal of the exercise is to discover the imperfections (and accordingly biases) through analysis of the patterns, in this case extracting temporal-spatial discrepancies using neural networks (CNNs because the data have been represented graphically as bitmap but other neural nets can be used by just transforming the data domain accordingly)
* this is complicated by adjustments in the random generator methods used by the lottery organisers over the years because the underlying sources would have changed. These shifts can however be picked up through the output of the CNNs though if the analysis frames/windows are small enough
