Can Semantic Methods Enhance Team Sports Tactics? A Methodology for Football with Broader Applications

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2601.00421v2 Announce Type: replace This paper explores how semantic-space reasoning, traditionally used in computational linguistics, can be extended to tactical decision-making in team sports. Building on the analogy between texts and teams -- where players act as words and collective play conveys meaning -- the proposed methodology models tactical configurations as compositional semantic structures.
