- hockeybias 17y agoHoller when you get the hockey stats going! :)
- RobbieStats 17y agoI'm getting the full NHL HITS feed now, so it's just a matter of time!
- snewe 17y agoWill the automated content include interviews with players or quotes from coaches? You would need to scrape that content from non-automated sports stories.
- RobbieStats 17y agoMost of the content will be seeded from stats, which means less emphases on qualitative content. But I do get feeds for things like injuries so I'll be able to automate injury reporting.
- johns 17y agoQuotes are almost automated today. Most pro sports coaches and athletes endlessly recite the same cliches already.
- RobbieStats 17y agoGood point ;-)
- dmix 17y agoThe coaches just need to take it one game at a time.
- dugmartin 17y agoNatural language generation is a fun topic. I'm currently building automated overviews of web stats at http://overlytics.com http://overlytics.com. Its a much smaller data domain to report over.
- gbookman 17y agoThis service just makes so much sense for both readers and the media outlets. Now every game in every sport can be summarized, plus it frees up time and resources that can be invested in expert analysis and other enhancements to the user experience. The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to incorporate commentary from fans. ESPN and others already do live chats on various games and it seems like you could extrapolate meaningful events from that data if you had access to it.
