Researchers have developed a novel application of diffusion models for simulating basketball trajectories based on sketched player movements. This method allows for controllable simulation by conditioning the generation of player paths on partial sketches, offering a more natural feel than traditional autoregressive models. The project, which includes open-sourced code and models, aims to advance generative modeling in sports analytics. AI
