The application of machine learning and deep learning in sport: predicting NBA players’ performance and popularity
ABSTRACT Basketball is known for the vast amount of data collected for each player, team, game, and season. As a result, basketball is an ideal domain to work on different data analysis techniques to gain useful insights. In this study, we continued our previous study published in 2020 Computational Collective Intelligence (12th International Conference, ICCCI 2020, Da Nang, Vietnam, November 30 – December 3, 2020, Proceedings) reviewing some important factors to predict players’ future performance and being selected in an All-Star game, one of the most prestigious events, of National Basket Association league. Besides traditional Machine Learning, Deep Learning is also applied in this study for prediction purpose. However, compared to traditional Machine Learning, Deep Learning’s performance is not as good for our dataset. It is understandable when our data are relatively small and structured with a few predictor variables which limited Deep Learning’s ability to deal with a vast amount of Big Data. Our final results, through both Regression and Classification Analysis, indicated that scoring is the most important factor from the primary players for any team and also basketball fan’s favourable style.

With the development of information and technology, especially with the boom in big data, healthcare support systems are becoming much better. Patient data can be collected, retrieved, and stored in real time. These data are valuable and meaningful for monitoring, diagnosing, and further applications in data analysis and decision-making. Essentially, the data can be divided into three types, namely, statistical, image-based, and sequential data. Each type has a different method of retrieval, processing, and deployment. Additionally, the application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in healthcare support systems is growing more rapidly than ever. Numerous high-performance architectures are proposed to optimize decision-making. As reliability and stability are the most important factors in the healthcare support system, enhancing the predicted performance and maintaining the stability of the model are always the top priority. The main idea of our study comes from ensemble techniques. Numerous studies and data science competitions show that by combining several weak models into one, ensemble models can attain outstanding performance and reliability. We propose three deep ensemble learning (DEL) approaches, each with stable and reliable performance, that are workable on the above-mentioned data types. These are deep-stacked generalization ensemble learning, gradient deep learning boosting, and deep aggregation learning. The experiment results show that our proposed approaches achieve more vigorous and reliable performance than traditional ML and DL techniques on statistical, image-based, and sequential benchmark datasets. In particular, on the Heart Disease UCI dataset, representing the statistical type, the gradient deep learning boosting approach dominates the others with accuracy, recall, F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient, and area under the curve values of 0.87, 0.81, 0.83, 0.73, and 0.91, respectively. On the X-ray dataset, representing the image-based type, the deep aggregation learning approach shows the highest performance with values of 0.91, 0.97, 0.93, 0.80, and 0.94, respectively. On the Depresjon dataset, representing the sequence type, the deep-stacked generalization ensemble learning approach outperforms the others with values of 0.91, 0.84, 0.86, 0.8, and 0.94, respectively. Overall, we conclude that applying DL models using our proposed approaches is a promising method for the healthcare support system to enhance prediction and diagnosis performance. Furthermore, our study reveals that these approaches are flexible and easy to apply to achieve optimal performance.

Recent advancements in text classification have focused on the application of machine learn-ing and deep learning techniques. Traditional methods such as Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) have been widely utilized due to their efficiency and simplic-ity. However, the advent of deep learning has introduced more complex models like Artificial Neu-ral Networks (ANN), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which can automatically extract features and detect intricate patterns in textual data. Addi-tionally, transformer-based models such as BERT have set new benchmarks in text classification tasks. Despite their high accuracy, these models require substantial computational resources and are not always practical for every application. The ongoing research aims to balance accuracy and computational efficiency. Purpose of Research. The primary objective of this study is to review and compare various methods for automated text classification based on sentiment analysis. This research aims to evalu-ate the prediction accuracy of different models, including traditional machine learning algorithms and modern deep learning approaches, and to provide insights into their practical applications and limitations. Presentation of the Main Research Material. This study utilizes the “IMDB Dataset of 50K Movie Reviews” to train and test various text classification models. The dataset comprises movie reviews and their associated sentiment labels, either positive or negative. The research employs several preprocessing steps. For feature extraction, methods such as Bag-of-Words (BoW), TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency), and Word2Vec are used. These features are then fed into various classifiers: Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Regression, Deep Learning Models. Conclusions. The comparative analysis reveals that while traditional machine learning meth-ods like Naive Bayes, SVM and Logistic Regression are efficient and easy to implement, deep learn-ing models offer superior accuracy by capturing more complex patterns in the data. However, the computational demands of deep learning models, particularly transformers, limit their applicability in resource-constrained environments. Future research should focus on optimizing these models to balance accuracy and computational efficiency, making advanced text classification accessible for a broader range of applications.

This review paper investigates applications of machine learning and deep learning in trading, with a particular emphasis on recent advances in deep learning. It provides an overview of algorithms, including support vector machines (SVMs), random forests, deep neural networks (DNNs), long short-term memory networks (LSTM networks), and deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Findings show that while machine learning and deep learning models were able to surpass traditional strategies in general in terms of profitability, they were also better at risk management. However, despite their performances showing superiority, their performances varied significantly under different market conditions, including markets during periods of high and low volatility. In particular, LSTM networks and random forests can generate substantial returns, higher Sharpe ratios, and lower drawdowns compared to the benchmarks, whereas DNNs struggled during highly volatile periods, as reflected in the returns in the periods. Moreover, the improved DRL agent TradeNet-CR can manage risk significantly better than another, despite not surpassing the original TradeNet-CR model.

The purpose of the study was to provide a comprehensive review of recent machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications in urological practice. Numerous studies have reported their use in the medical care of various urological disorders; however, no critical analysis has been made to date. A detailed search of original articles was performed using the PubMed MEDLINE database to identify recent English literature relevant to ML and DL applications in the fields of urolithiasis, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), bladder cancer (BCa), and prostate cancer (PCa). In total, 43 articles were included addressing these four subfields. The most common ML and DL application in urolithiasis is in the prediction of endourologic surgical outcomes. The main area of research involving ML and DL in RCC concerns the differentiation between benign and malignant small renal masses, Fuhrman nuclear grade prediction, and gene expression-based molecular signatures. BCa studies employ radiomics and texture feature analysis for the distinction between low- and high-grade tumors, address accurate image-based cytology, and use algorithms to predict treatment response, tumor recurrence, and patient survival. PCa studies aim at developing algorithms for Gleason score prediction, MRI computer-aided diagnosis, and surgical outcomes and biochemical recurrence prediction. Studies consistently found the superiority of these methods over traditional statistical methods. The continuous incorporation of clinical data, further ML and DL algorithm retraining, and generalizability of models will augment the prediction accuracy and enhance individualized medicine.

Recent breakthroughs in Machine Learning (ML) applications, and especially in Deep Learning (DL), have made DL models a key component in almost every modern computing system. The increased popularity of DL applications deployed on a wide-spectrum of platforms (from mobile devices to datacenters) have resulted in a plethora of design challenges related to the constraints introduced by the hardware itself. “What is the latency or energy cost for an inference made by a Deep Neural Network (DNN)?” “Is it possible to predict this latency or energy consumption before a model is even trained?” “If yes, how can machine learners take advantage of these models to design the hardware-optimal DNN for deployment?” From lengthening battery life of mobile devices to reducing the runtime requirements of DL models executing in the cloud, the answers to these questions have drawn significant attention. One cannot optimize what isn't properly modeled. Therefore, it is important to understand the hardware efficiency of DL models during serving for making an inference, before even training the model. This key observation has motivated the use of predictive models to capture the hardware performance or energy efficiency of ML applications. Furthermore, ML practitioners are currently challenged with the task of designing the DNN model, i.e., of tuning the hyper-parameters of the DNN architecture, while optimizing for both accuracy of the DL model and its hardware efficiency. Therefore, state-of-the-art methodologies have proposed hardware-aware hyper-parameter optimization techniques. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive assessment of state-of-the-art work and selected results on the hardware-aware modeling and optimization for ML applications. We also highlight several open questions that are poised to give rise to novel hardware-aware designs in the next few years, as DL applications continue to significantly impact associated hardware systems and platforms.
