Deep learning model TTNet analyzes table tennis player data

Researchers have developed TTNet, a deep learning model designed for analyzing table tennis player data collected from smart rackets. This model utilizes a combination of convolutional neural networks, residual networks, and self-attention mechanisms to simultaneously predict player attributes such as gender, playing hand, experience level, and skill. TTNet employs a two-stage training strategy with data augmentation and task-specific loss functions to handle imbalanced datasets effectively. The model achieved second place in the AI CUP 2025 competition for smart racket data analysis. AI

IMPACT This model could enhance performance analysis and skill assessment in table tennis through advanced data interpretation.
