The paper introduces a landmark-based approach for classifying injury-associated athlete sessions using minute-resolution multimodal football monitoring data. Instead of labeling every minute, it creates a single representation per athlete-session at fixed time points (landmarks) that incorporates information up to that moment, thereby aligning the session-level injury label with the data. Experiments on 3,743 elite women's football athlete-sessions from the 2020 SoccerMon dataset evaluate various representation strategies and machine learning models, reporting ROC-AUC values between 0.367 and 0.607 and PR-AUC values between 0.0080 and 0.0150, with notable uncertainty across landmarks.

The paper introduces a landmark‑based approach to classify injury‑associated athlete sessions using minute‑resolution multimodal football monitoring data. Instead of labeling every minute, it creates a single representation per athlete‑session at fixed time points (landmarks) based on information up to that moment, thereby aligning the session‑level injury label with the data. Experiments on 3,743 elite women’s football sessions show that cumulative and dynamic logistic regression models achieve ROC‑AUCs between 0.367 and 0.607, though results carry wide uncertainty.
arXiv:2606. 09842v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Applying Human Pose Estimation (HPE) in real world environments remains a challenging task, this paper explores and surveys real time HPE approaches and their limitations in sports analysis for individuals, alongside developing a practical lightweight prototype for real world testing and usage.

The study introduces a framework that reconciles minute‑resolution athlete monitoring data with injury labels that are only available at the session level. By creating fixed‑time landmarks (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes) and generating a single representation per athlete‑session up to each landmark, the authors evaluate several machine‑learning models and data‑augmentation strategies on elite women’s football data. Results show that discrimination varies across landmarks, with TabPFN outperforming Logistic Regression at later landmarks but not consistently beating Random Forest, and that synthetic augmentation offers benefits only in specific conditions.
