Monte Carlo Pass Search: 3D Counterfactual Pass Evaluation in Football

arXiv·low signal

Kang and Narasimhan recast soccer pass evaluation as an MCTS-style problem for 3D counterfactual analysis, assembling most components from existing literature. It is a sports-analytics application of planning search. Tangential to general agent planning, but a concrete instance of tree-search applied to a real-world decision problem.
