ML/NLP/AI Specialist
Livesport is evolving beyond just providing quick sports results. Our news coverage is consistently expanding, allowing us to explore new opportunities with modern technologies. We are preparing to broaden our news articles to cover additional sports and languages, while also developing our own translation system specifically designed for sports content.
In addition, we are focusing on sports data analysis to uncover new, engaging insights and stories. We are also working on an interactive chat feature that will provide users with faster and more accurate information, along with innovative ways to utilize data. These are just a few of the exciting projects where you can collaborate, conceptualize, and program.
