Masked Autoencoder Pretraining for Event Classification in Elite Soccer
摘要
We show that pretraining transformer models improves the performance on supervised classification of tracking data from elite soccer. Specifically, we propose a novel self-supervised masked autoencoder for multiagent trajectories. In contrast to related work, our approach is significantly simpler, has no necessity for handcrafted features and inherently allows for permutation invariance in downstream tasks.
