This paper explores the use of autoencoder architectures for reducing complex wearable telemetry data from runners into a single performance score. Researchers evaluated five dimensionality reduction models, including three autoencoder variants and PCA, assessing them on reconstruction error and the interpretability of the resulting latent score. The study found that deep autoencoders performed best in terms of both low reconstruction error and high composite interpretability scores, with running pace, aerobic decoupling, and average heart rate identified as key drivers of the latent score.
