AI总结:

本文探讨AI与足球的双向赋能:利用统计学习、博弈论和计算机视觉的结合,推动足球预测与规范性分析,同时以足球为AI研究提供独特微观世界,并展望对其他运动的扩展。

摘要:

人工智能(AI)和机器学习的快速发展,为包括棒球、篮球和网球在内的各种团队及个人运动项目开辟了前所未有的分析可能性。近年来,由于职业球队数据收集量的大幅增加、计算能力的提升以及机器学习的进步,AI技术已被应用于足球领域,旨在更好地应对分析单个球员行为和协调团队行为所涉及的新科学挑战。预测性和规范性足球分析所面临的研究挑战,需要在统计学习、博弈论和计算机视觉的交叉领域取得新的发展和进展。本文提供了一个总体视角,强调这些领域的结合,特别是如何构成AI研究的独特微观世界,同时为职业球队、观众和转播商在未来几年带来互利。我们阐明,这种双重性使足球分析成为具有巨大价值的游戏规则改变者,不仅在于改变足球比赛本身,还在于这一领域对AI领域可能意味着什么。我们回顾了最新技术,并通过结合上述领域所实现的分析类型进行了举例说明,包括使用预测模型进行反事实分析的示例,以及将点球的博弈论分析与球员属性的统计学习相结合。最后,我们强调了预期的下游影响,包括扩展到其他运动(真实和虚拟)的可能性。

英文摘要:

The rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning has opened unprecedented analytics possibilities in various team and individual sports, including baseball, basketball, and tennis. More recently, AI techniques have been applied to football, due to a huge increase in data collection by professional teams, increased computational power, and advances in machine learning, with the goal of better addressing new scientific challenges involved in the analysis of both individual players' and coordinated teams' behaviors. The research challenges associated with predictive and prescriptive football analytics require new developments and progress at the intersection of statistical learning, game theory, and computer vision. In this paper, we provide an overarching perspective highlighting how the combination of these fields, in particular, forms a unique microcosm for AI research, while offering mutual benefits for professional teams, spectators, and broadcasters in the years to come. We illustrate that this duality makes football analytics a game changer of tremendous value, in terms of not only changing the game of football itself, but also in terms of what this domain can mean for the field of AI. We review the state-of-the-art and exemplify the types of analysis enabled by combining the aforementioned fields, including illustrative examples of counterfactual analysis using predictive models, and the combination of game-theoretic analysis of penalty kicks with statistical learning of player attributes. We conclude by highlighting envisioned downstream impacts, including possibilities for extensions to other sports (real and virtual).
