Rugby-Bot: Utilizing Multi-Task Learning & Fine-Grained Features
RUGBY-BOT:UTILIZING MULTI-TASK LEARNING & FINE-GRAINED FEATURES FOR RUGBY LEAGUE ANALYSIS APREPRINT Matthew Holbrook Jennifer Hobbs Patrick Lucey STATS, LLC STATS, LLC STATS, LLC Chicago, IL Chicago, IL Chicago, IL [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] October 17, 2019 ABSTRACT Sporting events are extremely complex and require a multitude of metrics to accurate describe the event. When making multiple predictions, one should make them from a single source to keep consistency across the predictions. We present a multi-task learning method of generating multiple predictions for analysis via a single prediction source. To enable this approach, we utilize a fine-grain representation using fine-grain spatial data using a wide-and-deep learning approach. Additionally, our approach can predict distributions rather than single point values. We highlighted the utility of our approach on the sport of Rugby League and call our prediction engine “Rugby-Bot”. Keywords Mixture Density Network · Multi-Task Learning · Embeddings · Rugby League · DVOA 1 Introduction For the past decade in sports analytics, the holy grail has been to find “the one best metric” which can best capture the performance of players and teams through the lens of winning. For example, expected metrics such as wins-above replacement (WAR) in baseball [1], expected point value (EPV) and efficiency metrics in basketball [2, 3] and expected goal value in soccer [4] are used as the gold-standard in team and player analysis. In American Football, Defense- Adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA) [5], is perhaps the most respected and utilized advanced metric in the NFL which utilizes both an expected value and efficiency metric, and analyzes the value of a play compared to expected for every play and also normalizes for team, drive and game context.

But for Berrigan, who joined the club from school and made 186 NRL appearances for the club, winning on grand final day had been a long-held aspiration. “As a kid still in school, I recall sitting in Cyril Connell’s office upstairs here and writing down my goals,” he revealed to an attentive audience. “One was to win a grand final and the other was to win the Clive Churchill Medal as best on ground. Luckily that day I was able to do both.” Berrigan, who was also a member of the 5 2000 premiership team, was joined on stage by teammates Petero Civoniceva, Justin Hodges and Ben Hannant and interviewed by MC Ben Ikin, also a Broncos premiership winner form 2000.
