For my Master's Project (UC Berkeley), I'm working on sports analytics and furthering in-game sports prediction. We are building off some initial work out of MIT that you can find out more about here: http://www.sloansportsconference.com/?p=6137
To start, the goal is to perform real-time MLB pitch prediction. To facilitate this we will be building a crawler to curate MLB data from http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/ as well as testing some Machine Learning algorithms. We'd like to use the credits to facilitate this and potentially put together some crawlers for other sports data (NBA, NHL, etc.) before the end of the month!
