Identifying potential future elite athletes is important in many sporting events. The successful identification of potential future elite athletes at an early age would help to provide high-quality coaching and training environments in which to optimize their development. However, a large variety of different skills and qualities are needed to succeed in elite sports, making talent identification generally a complex and multifaceted problem. Due to the rarity of elite athletes, datasets are inherently imbalanced, making classical statistical inference difficult. Therefore, we approach talent identification as an anomaly detection problem. We trained a nonlinear one-class support vector machine (one-class SVM) on a dataset (N=951) collected from 14-year-old junior soccer players to detect potential future elite players. The mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) over the tested hyperparameter combinations was 0.763 (std 0.007). The most accurate model was obtained when physical tests, measuring, for example, technical skills, speed, and agility, were used. According to our results, the proposed approach could be useful to support decision-makers in the process of talent identification.

Piecewise anomaly detection using minimal learning machine for hyperspectral images
Raita-Hakola, A.-M.; Pölönen, I. (Copernicus Publications, 2021)Hyperspectral imaging, with its applications, offers promising tools for remote sensing and Earth observation. Recent development has increased the quality of the sensors. At the same time, the prices of the sensors are ... -
Dimensionality reduction framework for detecting anomalies from network logs
Sipola, Tuomo; Juvonen, Antti; Lehtonen, Joel (CRL Publishing, 2012)Dynamic web services are vulnerable to multitude of intrusions that could be previously unknown. Server logs contain vast amounts of information about network traffic, and finding attacks from these logs improves the ... -
An Efficient Network Log Anomaly Detection System using Random Projection Dimensionality Reduction
Juvonen, Antti; Hämäläinen, Timo (IEEE, 2014)Network traffic is increasing all the time and network services are becoming more complex and vulnerable. To protect these networks, intrusion detection systems are used. Signature-based intrusion detection cannot find ... -
Anomaly detection from network logs using diffusion maps
Sipola, Tuomo; Juvonen, Antti; Lehtonen, Joel (Springer, 2011)The goal of this study is to detect anomalous queries from network logs using a dimensionality reduction framework. The fequencies of 2-grams in queries are extracted to a feature matrix. Dimensionality reduction is done ... -
