Published today at @BrainComms. The idea that #COVID is mild bc rarely needs hospitals is a myth getting even scientists. Not having respiratory complications does not mean SARS-CoV-2 is not entering the brain. Neurological problems can occur without respiratory ones. #NeuroCovid

We’re hiring a Research Engineer at Arsenal ⚽️ to help accelerate our applied research efforts! We’re building state-of-the-art models to understand football at scale, and a suite of ML-powered applications on top of them to drive tactical and strategic decisions.

For anyone interested in my Soccer Analytics book routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti…, it was recently reviewed in the JASA here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #Soccer #DataScience #Football #Sport

Thanks

Perhaps the octopus and elephant were superior to humans all along.

🚨 Which endurance sport has the highest injury risk? 🚨 Our latest study analyzed over 10,000 endurance athletes across various sports to determine how many experienced injuries (>2 months off training) during a competitive season. The results? Fascinating. 🧵👇

An unexpected but effective engineering solution.

EoS Pythagorean pts prediction for Prem League (2024-25) after 29 rounds (see method routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti… Chapter 5). Predicted top 4: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea & Notts Forest. Notts Forest is big surprise. Will they keep up the form? #soccer #football #SoccerAnalytics 1/

Last season (2023-24) EoS Pythag pts predictions after 29 rounds (routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti…). Mean absolute error was 4.4 points. Some predictions were very accurate (Man Utd, Bournemouth, Burnley) Others less accurate (Chelsea, Cryst Pal, etc.) 2/ #soccer #football #DataScientist

3/4-way through 2024-25 Prem League season. I used the Pythagorean expected points method in Chap 5 of my soccer book routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti… to predict the end of season points totals for the teams (previous posts). #Soccer #football #DataScience #SoccerAnalytics #sports 3/

I agree. Great book. I have used this book for years and its really helpful.

Summary of EoS Pythagorean pts predictions for Prem League (2024-25) after 10, 19, & 29 rounds (see routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti… Chap 5). MAEs were 8.5, 6.2 & 3.9. Some preds v good, others poor. Liverpool pred top from round 10. #soccer #football #SoccerAnalytics #DataScientist 1/

At end of 2024-25 Prem League season. Used the Pythagorean expected points method in Chap 5 of my soccer book routledge.com/Soccer-Analyti… to predict the end of season points totals. MAEs were 8.5, 6.2 & 3.9 - not too bad #Soccer #football #DataScience #SoccerAnalytics #sports 2/

Becoming increasingly appalled at the energy consumption associated with AI. It breakes all the rules of good energy management (see my 2009 book routledge.com/Energy-Managem…). #energy #EnergyEfficiency

Very precise and very pleasing.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is all embracing but many overlook its application to biology and health. Very interesting paper on aging and entropy sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #aging #energy
