Playing around with neural networks to try to salvage my fantasy hockey season.

  What exactly are you doing? I've been gathering data for few seasons in my league, going to use it to help me draft next year.

    My first pass is actually attacking daily fantasy (i.e. given data about past NHL games, predict a player's performance in an upcoming game). I'm scraping some NHL stats sites to build input vectors based on a couple dozen manually-chosen features (e.g. "number of goals scored last game", "opposition goalie's save percentage in his last 5 games") and passing them through a neural network to see if there's any usable correlation between the input features and a player's eventual performance (goals, assists, +/-, etc.). It's all in good fun -- mostly an excuse to take a look at TensorFlow and regain some of my machine learning knowledge from undergrad :) I'd be curious to hear about anyone else mucking around with machine learning for fantasy sports!

      Very cool. I'd check the fantasyhockey subreddit, I've seen a few people working on various analytic projects posting there.
