Topic
Analyzing Positional Data from Soccer Games with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Language: English
Abstract
Positional data are regularly recorded in many soccer leagues such as Bundesliga. The data is captured at 25fps and contains x/y coordinates of all players and the ball. Today, positional data is mainly used for heat maps showing the whereabouts and statistics about the number of kilometers covered by a player. In this talk, I will show that the data can actually be used for more sophisticated analyses using state-of-the-art deep architectures. I will show examples dealing with player movement models, controlled zones, and predictions of player actions.
