Problem and Solution
Problem
Sports statistics are often locked behind rigid query formats, making data exploration difficult for non-technical users.
Solution
This project introduces a Python-based API that allows users to ask natural language questions about NBA and MLB data, converting them into structured queries and returning relevant statistics.
What's next for this project
- Improve NLP accuracy with expanded training data
- Add support for additional sports leagues
- Expose the system through a public API or frontend interface
