Artificial Neural Networks on Recruiting Athletes

Aug 2020

STEM Fellowship Journal
In this viewpoint written during my senior year of High School, I explored three implementations of artificial neural networks in sports to learn their efficacy for athlete recruitment in the professional level. https://doi.org/10.17975/sfj-2020-005

Main Interests

Significant Courses

01
Intelligence, Artificial
and Human

2020

University of Toronto
This course presents students with the opportunity to integrate their computer science interests with philosophy, history, and literature by answering questions that include: what is human intelligence? How close are we to replicating it? What ethical challenges are posed by AI on workers, society, and the environment?
02
Data Structures
and Analysis

2020

University of Toronto
Standard abstract data types, such as graphs, dictionaries, priority queues, and disjoint sets. A variety of data structures for implementing these abstract data types, such as balanced search trees, hashing, heaps, and disjoint forests. Design and comparison of data structures. Algorithm analysis: worst-case, average-case, and amortized complexity.
03
Software Tools and
Systems Programming

2020

University of Toronto
Software techniques in a Unix-style environment, using scripting languages and a machine-oriented programming language (typically C). What goes on in the operating system when programs are executed. Core topics: creating and using software tools, pipes and filters, file processing, shell programming, processes, system calls, signals, basic network programming.
