MLSA 2015 - 2nd Workshop on Sports Analytics

Sports Analytics has been a steadily growing and rapidly evolving area over the last decade, especially in the context of US professional sports leagues but also in connection with European football leagues. While there has been some interest in the Machine Learning and Data Mining community, the majority of techniques used in the field so far are statistical. We believe that this workshop offers a great opportunity to bring people from outside of the Machine Learning community into contact with typical ECML/PKDD contributors as well as to highlight what the community has done and can do in the field of Sports Analytics.
