Automatic Soccer Penalty Detection (Trajectory of Ball and Goalkeeper)
Detecting the trajectory of the soccer ball and goal keeper with their pose to predict whether the shot would cause a goal. From the collected data we can get statistics such as “Expected Goal on Target (xGOT)”. Furthermore, you can use similarity search from the detections to find similar penalty shots.

Augmenting Phi-3 for Arabic: Granting LLMs Multilingual Capability with Minimal Training Time
This project introduces a novel method for expanding the vocabulary of pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) for Arabic without the need for costly full pre-training. By integrating vocabulary expansion, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), and targeted fine-tuning, we aim to boost model performance while minimizing computational resources. This approach sets a new benchmark for efficient language model enhancement in low-resource settings.
