Abstract:
This paper suggests that automated soccer commentary has a key role
to play within the overall RoboCup initiative. Firstly, we identify
soccer commentary as allowing and requiring investigation of a wide
variety of research topics, many of which could not be addressed by
the simple development of teams for the RoboCup leagues themselves.
Secondly, we highlight a key task of soccer commentary: the expert
analysis of a game. We suggest that this expert analysis task has
the potential to make a significant impact on RoboCup challenges
such as learning, teamwork, and opponent modeling. We illustrate
our arguments by discussing the progress on soccer commentary
systems to date, in particular reviewing our own system, MIKE.
