Artificial Intelligence to Predict Sports Injuries

Posted by michael on from the slow-down-cowboy dept.

nakhla writes "MSNBC.com is running a story on how an Italian soccer team is using artificial intelligence to predict sports injuries. The team is working with Computer Associates to develop neural network technology that can be combined with daily tests of the athletes to determine patterns which occur right before a player gets injured. Of course, one has to assume that it wouldn't be able to predict a player getting kicked in the head in the middle of the game, resulting in a concussion." I was wondering how to tie a World Cup story into Slashdot. Congratulations to Senegal.

    France just sucks.

    I love african football (it's football, not soccer dammnit!). They are so much more playful and entertaining than the rest...

    What about:

    "StarWars opening was delayed in Brazil because of the WorldCup. It's going to open there only in July, 11, almost two months after the rest of the World"

    Yes, that sucks. I would watch both, of course, and I'm sure everybody would also, but the attention in the last weeks (news, talks and so) was going entirely to the WC. Too bad that marketing and money drive the world... :(

    Well... at least there was SpiderMan :)

    BTW, viva la Fra^H^H^HSenegal!!!! :PP
