International BusIT Week | UCLL

The A.I. for winning an unfair game

Real life data

Have you seen the movie Moneyball? In the ten years since it was released, Big Data and Data Analytics has exploded. In this project, you'll work with real life data from OHL (a Belgian pro league football club), and IBM's expertise and technology to dive into sports analytics.

Goal 

Your team will develop and pitch an AI solution. Who knows - maybe you'll impact the future of premier league football as we know it.
