Analyzing sports commentary in order to automatically recognize events and extract insights

Yanis Miraoui

In this paper, we carefully investigate how we can use multiple different Natural Language Processing techniques and methods in order to automatically recognize the main actions in sports events. We aim to extract insights by analyzing live sport commentaries from different sources and by classifying these major actions into different categories. We also study if sentiment analysis could help detect these main actions.
