AI brings gamechanging approaches for soccer analytics where soccer has been a typical benchmark for AI research. The combination has been an emerging topic. In this paper, soccer match analytics are taken as a complete observation-orientation-decision-action(OODA) loop.In addition, as in AI frameworks such as that for reinforcement learning, interacting with a virtual environment enables an evolving model. Therefore, both soccer analytics in the real world and virtual domains are discussed. With the intersection of the OODA loop and the real-virtual domains, available soccer data, including event and tracking data, and diverse orientation and decisionmaking models for both real-world and virtual soccer matches are comprehensively reviewed. Finally, some promising directions in this interdisciplinary area are pointed out. It is claimed that paradigms for both professional sports analytics and AI research could be combined. Moreover, it is quite promising to bridge the gap between the real and virtual domains for soccer match analysis and decision-making.展开更多

We propose an extension to the BDM model to address problems where actors’ positions are distributed over a position spectrum. We generalize the concept of position in the model to incorporate continuous positions for the actors, enabling them to have more flexibility in defining their targets. We explore different possible functions to study the role of the position function and discuss appropriate distance measures for computing the distance between the positions of actors. To validate the proposed extension, we demonstrate the trustworthiness of our model’s performance and interpretation by replicating the results based on data used in earlier studies.展开更多

Flash floods can create blue spots;areas where transport networks (roads, tunnels, bridges, passageways) and other engineering structures within them are at flood risk. The economic and social impact of flooding revealed that the damage caused by flash floods leading to blue spots is very high in terms of dollar amount and direct impacts on people’s lives. The impact of flooding within blue spots is either infrastructural or social, affecting lives and properties. Currently, more than 16.1 million properties in the U.S are vulnerable to flooding, and this is projected to increase by 3.2% within the next 30 years. Some models have been developed for flood risks analysis and management including some hydrological models, algorithms and machine learning and geospatial models. The models and methods reviewed are based on location data collection, statistical analysis and computation, and visualization (mapping). This research aims to create blue spots model for the State of Tennessee using ArcGIS visual programming language (model) and data analytics pipeline.展开更多

文摘We are living in an age of big data,analytics,and artificial intelligence(AI).After reviewing a dozen different books on big data,data analytics,data science,AI,and business intelligence(BI),there are the current questions:(1)What are the relationships between data,analytics,and intelligence?(2)What are the relationships between big data and big data analytics?(3)What is the relationship between BI and data analytics?This article first discusses the heuristics of the Greek philosopher Plato and French mathematician Descartes and how to reshape the world.Then it addresses the above questions based on a Boolean structure,which destructs big data,data analytics,data science,and AI into data,analytics,and intelligence as the Boolean atoms.Data,analytics,and intelligence are reorganized and reassembled,based on the Boolean structure,to data analytics,analytics intelligence,data intelligence,and data analytics intelligence.The research will analyse each of them after examining the system intelligence.The proposed approach in this research might facilitate the research and development of big data,data analytics,AI,and data science.
文摘The implementation of artificial intelligence and data analytics varies from management automation to product inspection.These technologies detect visual defects and measure wrinkles in the fabric.Also,machine learning algorithms identify previously hidden operating patterns to optimize business processes.Moreover,AI tracks consumer behavior to provide better recommendations and get insights into market fluctuations.This way,data-driven solutions improve workflows,control the labor pool,and enhance end-product quality.
