Decoding Defensive Coverage Responsibilities in American Football Using Factorized Attention Based Transformer Models

1. 1Collect and preprocess NFL multi-agent play tracking data
2. 2Apply factorized attention-based transformer models to predict individual coverage assignments
3. 3Analyze receiver-defender matchups and targeted defenders on every pass play
4. 4Evaluate model performance and refine as needed

Data scientists and AI engineers on a sports analytics team can benefit from this research to improve their understanding of football tactics and develop more accurate predictive models
