arXiv:2608. 02081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study prediction problems for paired comparison data, for example, predicting the win probability between two unmatched players and ranking all the players according to the order of their strengths by using win probability data between two matched players.

The paper introduces the Hierarchical Possession-aware Graph Pointer Network (HPGPN) for selecting pass receivers in football analytics. HPGPN treats the task as a variable-size candidate prediction problem, modeling current player interactions, local event context, and possession-level temporal dynamics using a graph representation. Experiments on public football event and freeze-frame datasets show that HPGPN improves pass receiver selection performance, with ablation studies confirming the value of graph-based interaction modeling, fixed event context, and dual-branch dynamic possession-history modeling.

The paper introduces PART, a multimodal predictive framework for tennis that combines physiological, training, sleep, questionnaire, jump, and video data from nine collegiate players to assess overall wellness, injury risk, physical capability, and playing style. Using machine learning and deep learning, PART provides holistic athlete assessments and forecasts specific injury risks to body areas such as elbows and knees. Evaluation shows strong performance in predicting wellness and injury risk, with potential benefits for recreational players who often injure themselves due to poor technique.
