SoccerCPD: Formation and Role Change-Point Detection in Soccer Matches Using Spatiotemporal Tracking Data. (arXiv:2206.10926v1 [stat.AP])

In fluid team sports such as soccer and basketball, analyzing team formation
is one of the most intuitive ways to understand tactics from domain
participants' point of view. However, existing approaches either assume that
team formation is consistent throughout a match or assign formations
frame-by-frame, which disagree with real situations. To tackle this issue, we
propose a change-point detection framework named SoccerCPD that distinguishes
tactically intended formation and role changes from temporary changes in soccer
matches. We first assign roles …
