This article is presenting some of this stuff as new when it has been used for years in sports. I haven't read the linked paper yet, so maybe there is some deeper insight there that I am missing in this article, but computer vision, statistical learning, and game theory are all well established in multiple sports.
- thom 6y agoThat’s very broadly true but football (of the soccer variety) still lags a bit behind basketball. The number of clubs using computer vision, or deep learning models on tracking data is probably still in the single digits. Even clubs that do have people capable of doing this (or pay a provider), aren’t necessarily integrating that with their actual coaching or recruitment.
