Computer Science

The general aim of the Computational Analysis of Ice Hockey Gameplay project is to develop a system capable of 1) learning the way ice hockey is played and 2) using this knowledge to enhance team performance. More specifically, we are interested in analyzing video from a particular hockey team, automatically detecting play styles, propensities, and habits and then using this information to suggest strategies for improving a team’s performance. Tthis could manifest in a general form (i.e. improving the overall gameplay of team X) or a more specific form (i.e. helping team X exploit weaknesses of team Y so that team X can beat just team Y). Our work draws on ideas from machine learning and machine vision.
