Researchers have developed a new method called Monte Carlo Pass Search (MCPS) to evaluate passes in football using 3D trajectory generation. This approach treats pass evaluation as a Monte Carlo Tree Search problem, incorporating a value model for possession and a world model for multi-agent trajectories. The system infers kick parameters, samples execution variants, and uses a learned value model to score outcomes, enabling distribution-aware attribution. AI
