Google DeepMind's New AI Model Can Help Soccer Teams Take the Perfect Corner
A soccer AI model created by Google DeepMind makes predictions about where corners will go, and suggests tweaks to make goals more or less likely.
“But none of these systems were a complete prototype that could feasibly give useful suggestions to coaches in the real world,” says Petar Veličković, a staff research scientist at Google DeepMind and co-author of a paper published today in Nature Communications. Elite clubs already spend a huge amount of time in the lead up to games preparing corner routines and defensive plans with elaborate running routes and blocking schemes. Analysts spend hours sifting through video footage looking for weak points in their opponents’ defensive setups that they can target, or trying to find holes in their own team’s performances to double down on in training.
