Jesse Davis is a computer science professor at KU Leuven, Belgium, where he supervises teams of PhD students researching A.I., data science, and machine learning. Jesse is probably best known for co-developing Valuing Actions by Estimating Probabilities (VAEP) framework in soccer, now widely used throughout the game. He is also cofounder of RunEASI (runeasi.ai), a wearable tech company that integrates A.I to analyze the performance of athletes.
In this episode, Jesse, Jake and Hugo dig into the framework that underpins the VAEP's framework, how it can be used to enhance team recruiting, the qualities that make for good models, and the connections between data analytics across different sports.
