My colleagues and I are fascinated
by the science of moving dots.

我同事和我對移動的點
背後的科學非常著迷。
背後的科學非常著迷。
00:16
So what are these dots?
1
4927
1150
這些點是什麼？
00:18
Well, it's all of us.
2
6101
1287
是我們每一個人。
00:19
And we're moving in our homes,
in our offices, as we shop and travel
in our offices, as we shop and travel
3
7412
5085
我們在家、在辦公室裡走動，
在整個城市裡、
甚至世界各地旅遊和購物。
甚至世界各地旅遊和購物。
00:24
throughout our cities
and around the world.
and around the world.
4
12521
2066
00:26
And wouldn't it be great
if we could understand all this movement?
if we could understand all this movement?
5
14958
3669
我們若能夠瞭解這些動作，
不是很棒嗎？
不是很棒嗎？
00:30
If we could find patterns and meaning
and insight in it.
and insight in it.
6
18918
2890
如果能從中找出模式、
意義和背後意涵的話。
意義和背後意涵的話。
00:34
And luckily for us, we live in a time
7
22259
1785
而我們有幸
活在一個擷取自身資訊
非常容易的時代，
非常容易的時代，
00:36
where we're incredibly good
at capturing information about ourselves.
at capturing information about ourselves.
8
24068
4497
00:40
So whether it's through
sensors or videos, or apps,
sensors or videos, or apps,
9
28807
3663
無論透過感應器、影片或應用程式，
00:44
we can track our movement
with incredibly fine detail.
with incredibly fine detail.
10
32494
2809
我們都能非常精細地追蹤自己的動作。
00:48
So it turns out one of the places
where we have the best data about movement
where we have the best data about movement
11
36092
5032
然後我們發現，最適合
獲取動作資訊的一個地方，
獲取動作資訊的一個地方，
00:53
is sports.
12
41148
1208
就是運動場。
00:54
So whether it's basketball or baseball,
or football or the other football,
or football or the other football,
13
42682
5333
無論是籃球、棒球、橄欖球或足球，
01:00
we're instrumenting our stadiums
and our players to track their movements
and our players to track their movements
14
48039
4402
我們都能在場館裡、甚至球員身上
安裝儀器，追蹤他們的動作 --
安裝儀器，追蹤他們的動作 --
每個瞬間的動作。
01:04
every fraction of a second.
15
52465
1313
01:05
So what we're doing
is turning our athletes into --
is turning our athletes into --
16
53802
4382
所以我們要做的
就是把運動員變成──
就是把運動員變成──
01:10
you probably guessed it --
17
58208
1959
你們大概已經猜到了──
01:12
moving dots.
18
60191
1396
移動的點。
01:13
So we've got mountains of moving dots
and like most raw data,
and like most raw data,
19
61946
4934
我們收集了海量的移動的點，
但就像大部分的原始數據一樣，
但就像大部分的原始數據一樣，
01:18
it's hard to deal with
and not that interesting.
and not that interesting.
20
66904
2502
它們不易處理、也不甚有趣。
01:21
But there are things that, for example,
basketball coaches want to know.
basketball coaches want to know.
21
69430
3769
但藏在數據裡的是，舉例來說，
籃球教練想知道的事。
籃球教練想知道的事。
01:25
And the problem is they can't know them
because they'd have to watch every second
because they'd have to watch every second
22
73223
3810
而問題是他們無法得知這些事，
因為他們得看著每一秒鐘的比賽，
因為他們得看著每一秒鐘的比賽，
01:29
of every game, remember it and process it.
23
77057
2589
記住內容並處理它。
01:31
And a person can't do that,
24
79804
1930
沒有任何人能做到這件事，
01:33
but a machine can.
25
81758
1310
但機器可以。
01:35
The problem is a machine can't see
the game with the eye of a coach.
the game with the eye of a coach.
26
83661
3410
問題是，機器無法從
教練的角度觀看比賽，
教練的角度觀看比賽，
01:39
At least they couldn't until now.
27
87363
2261
至少在此之前，它們都做不到。
01:42
So what have we taught the machine to see?
28
90228
2103
所以我們教會了機器看些什麼呢?
01:45
So, we started simply.
29
93569
1787
從簡單的開始。
01:47
We taught it things like passes,
shots and rebounds.
shots and rebounds.
30
95380
3799
我們教它判斷傳球、
投籃、搶籃板等動作，
投籃、搶籃板等動作，
01:51
Things that most casual fans would know.
31
99203
2541
一些大部分普通球迷都知道的事。
01:53
And then we moved on to things
slightly more complicated.
slightly more complicated.
32
101768
2832
然後我們進入稍微複雜一點的動作，
01:56
Events like post-ups,
and pick-and-rolls, and isolations.
and pick-and-rolls, and isolations.
33
104624
4588
像是低位單打、擋切和清空單打。
02:01
And if you don't know them, that's okay.
Most casual players probably do.
Most casual players probably do.
34
109377
3543
如果你不知道這些動作，沒關係。
打球的人大概都清楚。
打球的人大概都清楚。
02:05
Now, we've gotten to a point where today,
the machine understands complex events
the machine understands complex events
35
113560
5340
接著，我們到達今天的地步，
機器已經可以讀出複雜的動作，
機器已經可以讀出複雜的動作，
02:10
like down screens and wide pins.
36
118924
3073
例如：向下掩護和無球掩護(wide pin)，
02:14
Basically things only professionals know.
37
122021
2726
一些基本上是專業人士才懂的動作。
02:16
So we have taught a machine to see
with the eyes of a coach.
with the eyes of a coach.
38
124771
4388
我們教會了機器
用教練的角度來看比賽。
用教練的角度來看比賽。
02:22
So how have we been able to do this?
39
130009
1857
我們是怎麼做到的?
02:24
If I asked a coach to describe
something like a pick-and-roll,
something like a pick-and-roll,
40
132511
3118
如果我請教練形容
某個動作，例如擋切，
某個動作，例如擋切，
02:27
they would give me a description,
41
135653
1640
他們會給我一段敘述，
02:29
and if I encoded that as an algorithm,
it would be terrible.
it would be terrible.
42
137317
2856
如果我把這個敘述寫成
一個演算法，大概會慘不忍睹。
一個演算法，大概會慘不忍睹。
02:33
The pick-and-roll happens to be this dance
in basketball between four players,
in basketball between four players,
43
141026
4278
擋切在籃球中，恰如
四個球員之間的舞蹈，
四個球員之間的舞蹈，
02:37
two on offense and two on defense.
44
145328
1912
兩個進攻方、兩個防守方。
02:39
And here's kind of how it goes.
45
147486
1618
大概是這樣的過程：
02:41
So there's the guy on offense
without the ball
without the ball
46
149128
2533
有一個未持球的進攻球員
02:43
the ball and he goes next to the guy
guarding the guy with the ball,
guarding the guy with the ball,
47
151685
3209
他跑到持球球員的旁邊幫他掩護，
02:46
and he kind of stays there
48
154918
1257
在原地稍作停留，
02:48
and they both move and stuff happens,
and ta-da, it's a pick-and-roll.
and ta-da, it's a pick-and-roll.
49
156199
3317
然後他們都移動，事情就發生了
——嗒啦——這就是擋拆。
——嗒啦——這就是擋拆。
02:51
(Laughter)
50
159540
2215
(笑聲)
02:53
So that is also an example
of a terrible algorithm.
of a terrible algorithm.
51
161779
2508
剛剛我示範了一個差勁的演算法。
02:56
So, if the player who's the interferer --
he's called the screener --
he's called the screener --
52
164913
4204
如果擋人那名球員──我們稱掩護者──
03:01
goes close by, but he doesn't stop,
53
169278
2872
慢慢靠近，但他並未停留，
03:04
it's probably not a pick-and-roll.
54
172174
1765
這可能就不是擋切。
03:06
Or if he does stop,
but he doesn't stop close enough,
but he doesn't stop close enough,
55
174560
3945
或是他有停留，但距離不夠近，
03:10
it's probably not a pick-and-roll.
56
178529
1761
這可能也不是擋切。
03:12
Or, if he does go close by
and he does stop
and he does stop
57
180642
3237
或是他慢慢靠近、也確實停留，
03:15
but they do it under the basket,
it's probably not a pick-and-roll.
it's probably not a pick-and-roll.
58
183903
3324
但這發生在籃下，可能也不是擋切。
03:19
Or I could be wrong,
they could all be pick-and-rolls.
they could all be pick-and-rolls.
59
187462
2524
也可能我判斷錯誤，這些全都是擋切。
這一切取決於精確的
時機、距離和位置，
時機、距離和位置，
03:22
It really depends on the exact timing,
the distances, the locations,
the distances, the locations,
60
190010
4568
03:26
and that's what makes it hard.
61
194602
1495
這也正是困難的地方。
03:28
So, luckily, with machine learning,
we can go beyond our own ability
we can go beyond our own ability
62
196579
4944
很幸運地，透過機器學習技術，
我們得以用超越自己的能力，
我們得以用超越自己的能力，
03:33
to describe the things we know.
63
201547
1743
來描述我們知道的事情。
03:35
So how does this work?
Well, it's by example.
Well, it's by example.
64
203314
2280
如何做到這個技術？舉個例。
03:37
So we go to the machine and say,
"Good morning, machine.
"Good morning, machine.
65
205759
2830
我們跑到機器面前說：「早安，機器。
03:41
Here are some pick-and-rolls,
and here are some things that are not.
and here are some things that are not.
66
209077
3359
這裡有些擋切的例子，
也有些不是的例子。
也有些不是的例子。
03:44
Please find a way to tell the difference."
67
212720
2252
請找出區分它們的方式。」
03:47
And the key to all of this is to find
features that enable it to separate.
features that enable it to separate.
68
215076
3707
而一切的關鍵在於找到
可以進行區別的特徵。
可以進行區別的特徵。
03:50
So if I was going
to teach it the difference
to teach it the difference
69
218807
2109
如果我要教它區分
蘋果和橘子的差異，
03:52
between an apple and orange,
70
220940
1381
我可能會說：
「不妨用顏色或形狀來區分?」
「不妨用顏色或形狀來區分?」
03:54
I might say, "Why don't you
use color or shape?"
use color or shape?"
71
222345
2375
而我們要解決的問題是，
類似這樣的特徵是什麼？
類似這樣的特徵是什麼？
03:56
And the problem that we're solving is,
what are those things?
what are those things?
72
224744
2943
03:59
What are the key features
73
227711
1247
哪些是能讓電腦判讀這些移動的點時，
能暢行無阻的重要特徵？
能暢行無阻的重要特徵？
04:00
that let a computer navigate
the world of moving dots?
the world of moving dots?
74
228982
3499
04:04
So figuring out all these relationships
with relative and absolute location,
with relative and absolute location,
75
232505
4823
所以搞清楚每件事情的關聯──
包含相對和絕對位置、
包含相對和絕對位置、
距離、時機、速率──
04:09
distance, timing, velocities --
76
237352
1909
04:11
that's really the key to the science
of moving dots, or as we like to call it,
of moving dots, or as we like to call it,
77
239440
4928
絕對是研究這些移動的點的重要關鍵，
或者用我們喜歡的稱呼方式：
或者用我們喜歡的稱呼方式：
04:16
spatiotemporal pattern recognition,
in academic vernacular.
in academic vernacular.
78
244392
3344
「時空模式識別」這樣的學術用語。
04:19
Because the first thing is,
you have to make it sound hard --
you have to make it sound hard --
79
247925
2898
因為最重要的是，
必須讓它聽起來很難，
必須讓它聽起來很難，
04:22
because it is.
80
250847
1278
因為它真的很難。
04:24
The key thing is, for NBA coaches,
it's not that they want to know
it's not that they want to know
81
252410
3141
重要的是，對NBA教練來說，
他們想知道的
他們想知道的
04:27
whether a pick-and-roll happened or not.
82
255575
1922
不是擋切是否發生，
04:29
It's that they want to know
how it happened.
how it happened.
83
257521
2076
而是擋切是怎麼發生的。
04:31
And why is it so important to them?
So here's a little insight.
So here's a little insight.
84
259621
2986
為什麼這對他們如此重要?
這裡有一些發現。
這裡有一些發現。
04:34
It turns out in modern basketball,
85
262631
1771
原來在現代籃球中，
04:36
this pick-and-roll is perhaps
the most important play.
the most important play.
86
264426
2539
擋切可能就是最重要的戰術。
04:39
And knowing how to run it,
and knowing how to defend it,
and knowing how to defend it,
87
267065
2620
知道如何執行、如何防守擋切，
基本上是大部分比賽輸贏的關鍵。
04:41
is basically a key to winning
and losing most games.
and losing most games.
88
269709
2670
04:44
So it turns out that this dance
has a great many variations
has a great many variations
89
272403
3801
所以結果是，擋切這種舞步變化多端，
04:48
and identifying the variations
is really the thing that matters,
is really the thing that matters,
90
276228
3648
真正重要的是要辨別這些變化，
04:51
and that's why we need this
to be really, really good.
to be really, really good.
91
279900
2529
所以我們需要有非常完善的演算法。
04:55
So, here's an example.
92
283228
1176
這裡有個例子。
兩個進攻球員和兩個防守球員
04:56
There are two offensive
and two defensive players,
and two defensive players,
93
284428
2379
準備進行擋切的攻防，
04:58
getting ready to do
the pick-and-roll dance.
the pick-and-roll dance.
94
286831
2152
持球者可以選擇利用或拒絕擋切，
05:01
So the guy with ball
can either take, or he can reject.
can either take, or he can reject.
95
289007
2683
05:04
His teammate can either roll or pop.
96
292086
3001
他的隊友則可以選擇切入或後撤。
05:07
The guy guarding the ball
can either go over or under.
can either go over or under.
97
295111
2986
防守持球者的球員可選擇
從前繞開、或從後繞開。
從前繞開、或從後繞開。
05:10
His teammate can either show
or play up to touch, or play soft
or play up to touch, or play soft
98
298121
4565
他的隊友可選擇上前補防、
隨球盯人或向後消極防守，
隨球盯人或向後消極防守，
05:14
and together they can
either switch or blitz
either switch or blitz
99
302710
2618
他們也可以選擇換防或夾擊。
05:17
and I didn't know
most of these things when I started
most of these things when I started
100
305352
2659
一開始我並不知道大部分的動作，
05:20
and it would be lovely if everybody moved
according to those arrows.
according to those arrows.
101
308035
3920
覺得如果大家能照那些箭頭
的方向移動就太棒了，
的方向移動就太棒了，
05:23
It would make our lives a lot easier,
but it turns out movement is very messy.
but it turns out movement is very messy.
102
311979
3905
這會讓我們的生活更加容易；
但我們的動作往往非常雜亂。
但我們的動作往往非常雜亂。
人的動作有大量扭動，要在精準度和完整度上
05:28
People wiggle a lot and getting
these variations identified
these variations identified
103
316047
5484
精確辨識這些變化，是相當困難的，
05:33
with very high accuracy,
104
321555
1303
05:34
both in precision and recall, is tough
105
322882
1868
05:36
because that's what it takes to get
a professional coach to believe in you.
a professional coach to believe in you.
106
324774
3618
因為唯有如此，
才能取得專業教練的信任。
才能取得專業教練的信任。
05:40
And despite all the difficulties
with the right spatiotemporal features
with the right spatiotemporal features
107
328416
3380
而儘管找到這些正確的
時空特徵困難重重，
時空特徵困難重重，
我們還是做到了。
05:43
we have been able to do that.
108
331820
1474
教練們信任我們機器
辨識這些變化的能力。
辨識這些變化的能力。
05:45
Coaches trust our ability of our machine
to identify these variations.
to identify these variations.
109
333318
3927
05:49
We're at the point where
almost every single contender
almost every single contender
110
337478
3533
我們已經達到，今年幾乎每一個
爭奪NBA冠軍的隊伍
爭奪NBA冠軍的隊伍
05:53
for an NBA championship this year
111
341035
1623
05:54
is using our software, which is built
on a machine that understands

05:59
the moving dots of basketball.
113
347114
1634
移動的點的機器裡。
06:01
So not only that, we have given advice
that has changed strategies
that has changed strategies
114
349872
5153
不只如此，這些隊伍也根據
我們的建議改變一些戰術，
我們的建議改變一些戰術，
06:07
that have helped teams win
very important games,
very important games,
115
355049
3352
幫助他們贏了一些很重要的比賽，
06:10
and it's very exciting because you have
coaches who've been in the league
coaches who've been in the league
116
358425
3732
這令人感到非常興奮，
因為我們讓這些在聯盟裡
因為我們讓這些在聯盟裡
打滾了30年的教練，
願意聽一台機器的建議。
願意聽一台機器的建議。
06:14
for 30 years that are willing to take
advice from a machine.
advice from a machine.
117
362181
3067
06:17
And it's very exciting,
it's much more than the pick-and-roll.
it's much more than the pick-and-roll.
118
365874
2906
不只擋切戰術，更讓我們興奮的是，
我們的電腦從簡單的開始，
06:20
Our computer started out
with simple things
with simple things
119
368804
2076
學會越來越複雜的動作，
06:22
and learned more and more complex things
120
370904
2064
現在它已經有豐富的知識。
06:24
and now it knows so many things.
121
372992
1561
老實說，它懂得已經比我多了，
06:26
Frankly, I don't understand
much of what it does,
much of what it does,
122
374577
2835
06:29
and while it's not that special
to be smarter than me,
to be smarter than me,
123
377436
3715
但由於比我聰明也沒什麼特別的，
06:33
we were wondering,
can a machine know more than a coach?
can a machine know more than a coach?
124
381175
3644
我們更想知道，
機器有可能懂得比教練還多嗎？
機器有可能懂得比教練還多嗎？
06:36
Can it know more than person could know?
125
384843
2055
可能懂得比人類還多嗎？
06:38
And it turns out the answer is yes.
126
386922
1745
結果答案是：可以。
06:40
The coaches want players
to take good shots.
to take good shots.
127
388691
2557
教練都希望球員掌握好的投籃時機，
06:43
So if I'm standing near the basket
128
391272
1651
如果離籃框很近，
旁邊沒人防守，就是好的投籃時機。
06:44
and there's nobody near me,
it's a good shot.
it's a good shot.
129
392947
2166
如果我離籃框很遠，又被防守者包圍，
通常就是很差的投籃時機。
通常就是很差的投籃時機。
06:47
If I'm standing far away surrounded
by defenders, that's generally a bad shot.
by defenders, that's generally a bad shot.
130
395137
3940
06:51
But we never knew how good "good" was,
or how bad "bad" was quantitatively.
or how bad "bad" was quantitatively.
131
399101
4876
但我們從來無法從量化數據得知，
「好」有多好、「差」有多差。
「好」有多好、「差」有多差。
06:56
Until now.
132
404209
1150
但現在不同了。
06:57
So what we can do, again,
using spatiotemporal features,
using spatiotemporal features,
133
405771
3058
所以我們可以，同樣地，
利用時空特徵條件，
利用時空特徵條件，
07:00
we looked at every shot.
134
408853
1374
檢視每一次投籃。
07:02
We can see: Where is the shot?
What's the angle to the basket?
What's the angle to the basket?
135
410251
3005
我們可以得知：投籃位置在哪？
和籃框的角度是幾度？
和籃框的角度是幾度？
07:05
Where are the defenders standing?
What are their distances?
What are their distances?
136
413280
2762
防守者站在哪裡？距離多少？
07:08
What are their angles?
137
416066
1331
角度多大？
07:09
For multiple defenders, we can look
at how the player's moving
at how the player's moving
138
417421
2977
防守者不只一個時，
我們可以觀察球員如何移動
我們可以觀察球員如何移動
07:12
and predict the shot type.
139
420422
1433
來預測投籃類型。
07:13
We can look at all their velocities
and we can build a model that predicts
and we can build a model that predicts
140
421879
4074
我們可以觀察速率，建立一個可以預測
07:17
what is the likelihood that this shot
would go in under these circumstances?
would go in under these circumstances?
141
425977
4052
在此情況下的命中率模型。
07:22
So why is this important?
142
430188
1500
為什麼這很重要？
07:24
We can take something that was shooting,
143
432102
2803
我們可以將投籃
07:26
which was one thing before,
and turn it into two things:
and turn it into two things:
144
434929
2680
這種過去的單一行為，轉化為兩件事：
07:29
the quality of the shot
and the quality of the shooter.
and the quality of the shooter.
145
437633
2651
投籃動作本身的品質，和投籃者的品質。
07:33
So here's a bubble chart,
because what's TED without a bubble chart?
because what's TED without a bubble chart?
146
441680
3262
這裡有一張泡泡圖，
沒有泡泡圖還像TED嗎？
沒有泡泡圖還像TED嗎？
07:36
(Laughter)
147
444966
1014
(笑聲)
07:38
Those are NBA players.
148
446004
1311
這些都是NBA球員。
07:39
The size is the size of the player
and the color is the position.
and the color is the position.
149
447339
3120
泡泡大小代表球員體型大小，
顏色代表他打的位置。
顏色代表他打的位置。
07:42
On the x-axis,
we have the shot probability.
we have the shot probability.
150
450483
2132
X軸是進球的機率，
07:44
People on the left take difficult shots,
151
452639
1953
左邊的球員做了許多勉強的投籃動作，
07:46
on the right, they take easy shots.
152
454616
2229
右邊的球員在有空檔時才會出手。
07:49
On the [y-axis] is their shooting ability.
153
457194
2057
Y軸是球員的投籃能力，
07:51
People who are good are at the top,
bad at the bottom.
bad at the bottom.
154
459275
2562
擅長投籃的球員在上方，
不擅長的在下方。
不擅長的在下方。
07:53
So for example, if there was a player
155
461861
1760
舉例來說，如果有個球員，
07:55
who generally made
47 percent of their shots,
47 percent of their shots,
156
463621
2097
平均命中率大約47%，
07:57
that's all you knew before.
157
465718
1389
這是過去所有你知道的資訊。
07:59
But today, I can tell you that player
takes shots that an average NBA player
takes shots that an average NBA player
158
467345
4850
但今天，我能告訴你以
這個球員出手投籃的狀況，
這個球員出手投籃的狀況，
NBA球員的平均命中率是49%，
08:04
would make 49 percent of the time,
159
472219
1961
08:06
and they are two percent worse.
160
474204
1684
他比平均低了2%。
08:08
And the reason that's important
is that there are lots of 47s out there.
is that there are lots of 47s out there.
161
476266
4515
這之所以重要，是因為
有這麼多47%命中率的球員。
有這麼多47%命中率的球員。
08:13
And so it's really important to know
162
481714
2549
重點就是要搞清楚，
08:16
if the 47 that you're considering
giving 100 million dollars to
giving 100 million dollars to
163
484287
3956
如果你要用100美金
簽下一個47%的球員，
簽下一個47%的球員，
08:20
is a good shooter who takes bad shots
164
488267
3055
應該要找能投得準但出手時機不佳的，
08:23
or a bad shooter who takes good shots.
165
491346
2397
還是不那麼準但出手時機很好的球員。
08:27
Machine understanding doesn't just change
how we look at players,
how we look at players,
166
495130
3333
機器的理解力不只改變了
我們對球員的看法，
我們對球員的看法，
08:30
it changes how we look at the game.
167
498487
1858
也改變了我們對比賽的看法。
08:32
So there was this very exciting game
a couple of years ago, in the NBA finals.
a couple of years ago, in the NBA finals.
168
500369
3755
兩年前在NBA總冠軍系列戰，
有一場非常刺激的比賽。
有一場非常刺激的比賽。
08:36
Miami was down by three,
there was 20 seconds left.
there was 20 seconds left.
169
504148
3207
邁阿密熱火隊落後3分，
時間還剩20秒。
時間還剩20秒。
08:39
They were about to lose the championship.
170
507379
2025
他們即將把冠軍拱手讓人。
08:41
A gentleman named LeBron James
came up and he took a three to tie.
came up and he took a three to tie.
171
509428
3341
一位叫勒布朗·詹姆士的先生
出手一顆三分球企圖追平比賽，
出手一顆三分球企圖追平比賽，
08:44
He missed.
172
512793
1198
球沒進。
08:46
His teammate Chris Bosh got a rebound,
173
514015
1837
他的隊友克里斯·波許搶到籃板，
08:47
passed it to another teammate
named Ray Allen.
named Ray Allen.
174
515876
2159
傳給另一位隊友雷·艾倫。
他命中了一顆三分球，
將比賽帶入延長賽，
將比賽帶入延長賽，
08:50
He sank a three. It went into overtime.
175
518059
1919
08:52
They won the game.
They won the championship.
They won the championship.
176
520002
2096
最後他們贏了比賽，拿到冠軍。
08:54
It was one of the most exciting
games in basketball.
games in basketball.
177
522122
2444
這是籃球場上最刺激的球賽之一。
08:57
And our ability to know
the shot probability for every player
the shot probability for every player
178
525438
3429
而因為我們可以得知每一個球員
在每一秒鐘投進的機率，
在每一秒鐘投進的機率，
09:00
at every second,
179
528891
1188
以及每一秒鐘他們搶到籃板的機率，
09:02
and the likelihood of them getting
a rebound at every second

180
530103
2956
讓我們得以用前所未有的方式
窺見這個時刻的全貌。
窺見這個時刻的全貌。
09:05
can illuminate this moment in a way

Now unfortunately,
I can't show you that video.

182
537618

很可惜，現在我無法播放那段影片，
09:12
But for you, we recreated that moment
183
540310
4493
但為了各位，我們重建了那個時刻，
09:16
at our weekly basketball game
about 3 weeks ago.
about 3 weeks ago.
184
544827
2336
就在大約三週前
我們每週例行的籃球比賽裡。
我們每週例行的籃球比賽裡。
09:19

這就是那經典的一球。
09:38
I'm going to show you that moment
192
566313
2516
我將和各位展示那個時刻，
09:40
and all the insights of that moment.
193
568853

以及那個時刻背後的一切。
09:43
The only difference is, instead

幹得不錯，朵莉雅。
10:53
But the important thing about that video

但重要的並不是這則影片，
10:57
and the insights we have for every second

226
645934

也不是它對NBA每場比賽

11:02
It's the fact you don't have to be
a professional team to track movement.

重要的是，不是只有職業球隊

In fact, it doesn't even have to be about

事實上，它也不是只能應用在運動場上，

What will we know? What will we learn?

11:37
Perhaps, instead of identifying

236
685589

11:39
a machine can identify

11:48
Perhaps we can learn to better use

11:56
we will move better, we will move smarter,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rajiv Maheswaran - ResearcherUsing advanced data analysis tools, Rajiv Maheswaran and Second Spectrum help make basketball teams smarter.
Why you should listen
Sports fans can get obsessed with stats about player performance and game-day physics. But basketball, a fluid and fast-moving game, has been tough to understand through numbers. Rajiv Maheswaran is working to change that, by offering pro basketball teams insight into game data to make better decisions. Maheswaran is the CEO and co-founder of Second Spectrum, a startup transforming sports through technology. He is also a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California's Computer Science Department and a Project Leader at the Information Sciences Institute at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where he co-directs the Computational Behavior Group.
His research spans various aspects of multi-agent systems and distributed artificial intelligence using decision-theoretic and game-theoretic frameworks and solutions. His current interests focus on data analytics, visualization and real-time interaction to understand behavior in spatiotemporal domains. Like, say, the spatiotemporal domain around a basketball hoop.
