• Abstract summary: We propose Context-Aware Metric of player Performance, CAMP, to quantify individual players' contributions toward a cricket match outcome. CAMP employs data mining methods and enables effective data-driven decision-making for selection and drafting, coaching and training, team line-ups, and strategy development. We empirically evaluate CAMP on data of limited-over cricket matches between 2001 and 2019.

• Abstract: Cricket is the second most popular sport after soccer in terms of viewership. However, the assessment of individual player performance, a fundamental task in team sports, is currently primarily based on aggregate performance statistics, including average runs and wickets taken. We propose Context-Aware Metric of player Performance, CAMP, to quantify individual players' contributions toward a cricket match outcome. CAMP employs data mining methods and enables effective data-driven decision-making for selection and drafting, coaching and training, team line-ups, and strategy development. CAMP incorporates the exact context of performance, such as opponents' strengths and specific circumstances of games, such as pressure situations. We empirically evaluate CAMP on data of limited-over cricket matches between 2001 and 2019. In every match, a committee of experts declares one player as the best player, called Man of the M}atch (MoM). The top two rated players by CAMP match with MoM in 83\% of the 961 games. Thus, the CAMP rating of the best player closely matches that of the domain experts. By this measure, CAMP significantly outperforms the current best-known players' contribution measure based on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

• MatchTime: Towards Automatic Soccer Game Commentary Generation [52.431010585268865]
  We consider constructing an automatic soccer game commentary model to improve the audiences' viewing experience. First, observing the prevalent video-text misalignment in existing datasets, we manually annotate timestamps for 49 matches. Second, we propose a multi-modal temporal alignment pipeline to automatically correct and filter the existing dataset at scale. Third, based on our curated dataset, we train an automatic commentary generation model, named MatchVoice.

  This paper seeks to understand the conundrum behind this impactful performance by determining how much control a player has over the circumstances. We collected data for the entire One Day International career of 3 prominent cricket players: Rohit G Sharma, David A Warner, and Kane S Williamson. We used Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Polynomial Regression, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Decision Tree Regression, and Random Forest Regression on each player's data individually to train them and predict the Impact the player will have on the game.

  Action spotting involves understanding the dynamics of the game, the complexity of events, and the variation of video sequences. In this work, we focus on the former by (a) identifying and representing the players, referees, and goalkeepers as nodes in a graph, and by (b) modeling their temporal interactions as sequences of graphs. For the player identification task, our method obtains an overall performance of 57.83% average-mAP by combining it with other modalities.

  No-press Diplomacy is a complex strategy game involving both cooperation and competition. We introduce a planning algorithm we call DiL-piKL that regularizes a reward-maximizing policy toward a human imitation-learned policy. We show that DiL-piKL can be extended into a self-play reinforcement learning algorithm we call RL-DiL-piKL.

Specifically we take in account: previous performance statistics of the players involved in the competing teams, ratings of players obtained from reputed cricket statistics websites, clustering the players' with similar performance statistics and propose a novel method using an ELO based approach to rate players. We compare the performances of each of these feature engineering approaches by using different ML algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machines, bayes network, decision tree, random forest.
