Dimension Data brings machine learning to the Tour de France - CBR

Predictive analytics functionality is also going to be tested out for the first time. Dimension Data is helping to bring machine learning to the Tour de France. The world famous bike race, which beings in Düsseldorf on Saturday and finishes at the Champs-Élysées in Paris on the 23rd July, is for the first time having machine learning algorithms applied to it. The Dimension Data analytics platform, which was developed in partnership with A.S.O, the organisers of the Tour de France, applies machine learning and algorithms that combine live and historical race data to provide a deeper level of insight into the race. Fans will be able to see rider profiles and learn more about the environments and circumstances in which they perform best.
