Competing together: Assessing the dynamics of team-team and player-team synchrony in professional association football.

This study investigated movement synchronization of players within and between teams during competitive association football performance. Cluster phase analysis was introduced as a method to assess synchronies between whole teams and between individual players with their team as a function of time, ball possession and field direction. Measures of dispersion (SD) and regularity (sample entropy -...

The Player Kernel: Learning Team Strengths Based on Implicit Player Contributions

In this work, we draw attention to a connection between skill-based models of game outcomes and Gaussian process classification models. The Gaussian process perspective enables a) a principled way of dealing with uncertainty and b) rich models, specified through kernel functions. Using this connection, we tackle the problem of predicting outcomes of football matches between national teams. We d...

EXD2 - a new player joins the DSB resection team

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), i.e. where both strands of the DNA double helix are broken, are among the most toxic type of damage that cells can suffer. They can arise during normal cellular processes or are induced by commonly used anticancer modalities, such as ionising radiation. Unrepaired DSBs can result in cell death, and their miss-repair drives genome rearrangements and the loss of g...
