CTOnews.com, June 23 (Xinhua)-- AI has come to the fore in the World Cup in Qatar in December last year, when referees used AI to cooperate with the detector to judge the players offside. This year, more sports competitions will be introduced into AI to improve the efficiency of stadium staff.

The all England Lawn Tennis Club and IBM have announced that the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, one of the four major world tennis tournaments to be played from July 3 to July 16, will use AI technology to provide reviews and prediction analysis of players' chances of winning.

▲ Touyuan all England Lawn Tennis Club CTOnews.com noted that the service was developed by iX, the design department of the IBM consulting business group, in cooperation with the all England Lawn Tennis Club, and mainly provided two AI-based functions.

The first function is the AI ball review. AI will be used to provide real-time comments for the essence of the game, and the information in each game will be immediately processed by the AI model on the IBM server to generate natural and smooth broadcast text, and then from text to voice real-time narration, so that the audience can deeply understand the content of the game, and the audience is free to turn the information on or off.

The watsonx.ai team said they used nearly 130 million ball review documents as training data sets and used IBM and their own underlying AI model to train a 3 billion-parameter AI model. The IBM team also said that the AI model can use a variety of sentence structures to generate a variety of interesting reviews and improve the richness and interest of the highlights of the game.

The second function is AI lottery analysis. This function provides an analysis of the probability of winning for each player. IBM said the "AI lottery analysis" evolved from two prediction models, "IBM Power Index" and "winning probability", which were previously developed by IBM.

Likelihood to Win (probability of winning) is the analysis of players' strength data. The analysis and prediction index of each player will be displayed in scale and level, including its world ranking and opponent's strength, etc. The player's data will be updated with the progress of the game until he is eliminated.
