Learning soccer drills for the small size league of RoboCup

Abstract

This paper shows the results of applying machine learning techniques to the problem of predicting soccer plays in the Small Size League of RoboCup. We have modeled the task as a multi-class classification problem by learning the plays of the STOx’s team. For this, we have created a database of observations for this team’s plays and obtained key features that describe the game state during a match. We have shown experimentally, that these features allow two learning classifiers to obtain high prediction accuracies and that most miss-classified observations are found early on the plays.
