Artificial Intelligence For Improving Team Sports
Credit: Carlos III University of Madrid
Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) researchers are developing a system for evaluating sport performance by using artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically analyze a play's development. The goal is to determine certain performance indicators in team sports that are most effective for each case. "In the near future, performance analysis of executions and decisions in real time could be made, providing precise feedback to improve performance during competition," says UC3M researcher Miguel Angel Patricio.
The project uses AI to evaluate the actions that constitute plays in team sports. One advantage of this type of system is that it applies objectivity when analyzing the game without having to depend on a human expert who studies the opponent and who might obtain different results according to his or her background, knowledge, or the context, according to the researchers.
"Through these techniques, we are trying to interpret a large quantity of acquired information to find relationships and patterns which may even be unknown to experts in sports activities," Patricio says.
