Talk Abstract:
Simon Fraser University has been a force in the NFL's Big Data Bowl for years. Focusing on punt returns, this team used tracking data to develop an algorithm to find the optimal path for a successful return, quantify player formations on the field and predict yards remaining on any frame of the return. This year's winning team will discuss their entry, the R code behind the optimal path and advice for this year's entrants.
