Euro 2024 kicks off this evening, so we set out simulation engine the task of predicting it. Using information about squads, tactics, and style to simulate the tournament 1000s of times, it thinks 🏴 England, 🇫🇷 France and 🇩🇪 Germany have the best chance of success. #euro2024

I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.
I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.
It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.
Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.
Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.
We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️

Thrilled to announce we've won a grant from the UK's innovation agency @InnovateUK to fund research into trustworthy generative AI systems for sport!
Excited to announce our paper "Inferring Player Location in Sports Matches: Multi-Agent Spatial Imputation from Limited Observations" has been accepted for publication in the Main Track at #AAMAS2023.
The pre-print paper is available here ⬇️

This increases accessibility of estimated off-ball downstream analytics tasks (e.g., physical player metrics, pitch control calculations, player heatmaps) to researchers and clubs who are only able to access event data.
This work was led by myself, and co-authored by Ryan Beal and Tim Matthews (@sentient_sports), Joseph Early (@JosephAEarly), Tim Norman (@proftjn) and Gopal Ramchurn (@gramchurn).
Fascinating! Informed decision making in sport using both human knowledge and the power of AI models seems an exciting way forward and this feels like a new AI staff member that can collate and present insightful reports quickly and have discussions regarding these results.

With the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicking off today in Qatar, we use our match prediction model to simulate the outcome of the tournament. We ran 5,000 Monte Carlo simulations and show the results for how far we expect our top 10 teams to reach in the competition ⚽ 📊
My talk at the @StatsBomb conference has now been uploaded! It was a pleasure to be able to present my work and would be great to have any discussions with people about the work!
