Abstract
A data processing apparatus includes circuitry that receives a sequence of data elements that indicate position of objects in a sports event at successive time steps; perform a prediction process using the data elements to predict a first predicted data element indicating predicted position of the objects at a first future time step; determine whether a break in the sports event is predicted to occur; if a break is not predicted to occur, continue performing the prediction process to predict a second predicted data element indicating predicted position of the objects at a second future time step; and if a break is predicted to occur: end the prediction process; use the first predicted data element to predict a third predicted data element indicating predicted position of the objects at a point at which the sports event is continued; and restart the prediction process using the third predicted data element.
