Lattice-Based Anomaly Rectification for Sport Video Annotation

Anomaly detection has received much attention within the literature as a means of determining, in an unsupervised manner, whether a learning domain has changed in a fundamental way. This may require continuous adaptive learning to be abandoned and a new learning process initiated in the new domain. A related problem is that of anomaly rectification; the adaptation of the existing learning mechanism to the change of domain. As a concrete instantiation of this notion, the current paper investigates a novel lattice-based HMM induction strategy for arbitrary court-game environments. We test (in real and simulated domains) the ability of the method to adapt to a change of rule structures going from tennis singles to tennis doubles. Our long term aim is to build a generic system for transferring game-rule inferences.
