Proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Computer Science in Sport (IACSS 2025)
Description
This book is a compilation of selected papers from the 15th International Symposium on Computer Science in Sport (IACSS 2025), held on September 13-15, 2025 in Tokyo, Japan. The work focuses on the application of computer science and technology in the field of sports (such as intelligent data collection, data mining, visual analysis of game data, virtual reality, machine learning, computer vision, match prediction models and performance analysis). The contents make valuable contributions to academic researchers, college students, coaches and athletes, and sports management personnel (such as managers of sports associations, training bases, and professional clubs). Additionally, readers will encounter new ideas for realizing a more efficient and convenient training and exercise system.
