Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning (“ML”) are changing many industries, with the sports industry being no exception. With the sports world embracing data-driven decision making, the demand has never been higher for AI/ML. Through an emphasis on understanding the concepts underlying AI and ML, this course seeks to demystify these important techniques. Topics include machine learning (supervised and unsupervised); AI, deep learning, and computer vision; natural language processing; and Python. Students who enjoy sports statistics will be encouraged throughout the course to independently use the data in the sport of their choice to analyze and apply concepts discussed in class.
Students pursuing the Certificate in Sports Technology and Innovation are required to complete Foundations in Digital Disruption/TGSC1-CE1007 as part of the certificate. However, there is no required order of completion for courses in the program as long as Foundations in Digital Disruption is one of the four earned toward the certificate.
