He then served as a JSPS Research Fellow (PD) at Nagoya University, a researcher at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, and an Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, before assuming his current position in 2021. His research focuses on the integration of machine learning with behavioral science and sports science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Date &amp; Time<br>Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 9:00\u201310:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Venue<br>Room 0112, Research Building B<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Abstract<br>In recent years, advances in automated sports data measurement technologies based on computer vision, together with the machine learning methods built upon them, have raised expectations for quantitative understanding of play and for decision-support applications. At the same time, unresolved challenges remain at every stage \u2014 measurement, recognition, classification, prediction, evaluation, and recommendation \u2014 arising from data-rights constraints associated with data acquisition, the difficulty of measurement, the complexity of collective behavior, and the context-dependence of judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This talk focuses mainly on goal-based team sports and introduces automated data acquisition using computer vision, play evaluation based on counterfactual prediction using machine learning, and evaluation and action recommendations for entire games and all players using reinforcement learning. Finally, the talk will introduce efforts to make these technologies widely accessible \u2014 including the release of various datasets, the open-source analysis platform OpenSTARLab, and competitions that have been held \u2014 and will discuss future prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Audience<br>Faculty, staff, and students of the University of Tsukuba engaged in, or interested in, this research area<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Language<br>Japanese<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Registration<br>Please register via the link below:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.cloud.microsoft\/r\/mBqkzru0SJ\">https:\/\/forms.cloud.microsoft\/r\/mBqkzru0SJ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 Organizer<br>Center for Artificial Intelligence Research (C-AIR), University of Tsukuba, ext. 7280<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series-1448x2048.png 1448w, https:\/\/air.tsukuba.ac.jp\/content\/uploads\/sites\/117\/2026\/07\/260728_C-AIR_AI_Seminar_Series.png 1508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Center for Artificial Intelligence Research (C-AIR) will hold a special lecture as detailed below.
