The task for Matsuda and the rest of the data scientists who took part was to use AI to create models that would detect helmet impacts from NFL game footage and identify the specific players involved in those impacts. — AFP

The NFL is continuing to crowdsource new ways to track head and helmet impacts during games from data scientists and for the second straight year the winner of its artificial intelligence competition comes from outside the United States.

The NFL and Amazon Web Services awarded US$100,000 (RM418,400) in prizes for this year’s competition with the top prize of US$50,000 (RM209,200) going to Kippei Matsuda from Osaka, Japan, the league announced Friday.
