Preventing Injuries
MSNBC reports that the Italian football team is using neural networks to monitor and understand its players: Computer Predicts Sports Injuries. The trick is naturally to learn when a player is pushed over his limit, by analysing past sensor readings (heart rate, sugar levels possibly). The AC Milan has a lot of existing data on its players which came in handy. Apparently, results are showing 84% success rate, but higher results are assumed possible. Slashdot also has a discussion thread on the topic. In a not-so-distant future, it'll be extremely funny watching managers adapt to this technology (shouting freeze to players in the nick of time). But there's little ANN can do for predicting foul tackling, Senegalese voodoo magic, or other random events that make the game so interesting! |
