Winter school/Summer school
University of Rouen Normandy (France)/Sheffield Hallam University (UK)
In the Winter school, we will focus our attention on multi-sourcing data collection and analysis by simulating a building evacuation during a laser game (https://www.dockslaser.com) in various scenarios (see below for more details). The aims of the Winter School are for participants to acquire skills in:
1) Collecting multi-sourcing data like kinematics (from accelerometer and GPS), physiological data (heart rate), psychological data (anxiety state).
2) Data visualisation and signal processing to synthesise various data sources.
3) Determining dependant variables to assess individual and collective behaviours, and network interactions in order to analyse sport performance outcome accordant to the task goal.
In the Summer school, we will focus our attention on data mining, mathematic modelling and statistics for team game analysis, in the context of collective sport performance. The aims of the Summer School are for participants to acquire skills in:
1) Identifying key patterns to understand individual and collective behaviours, mixing various dependant variables (time-series, discrete measurement from notational analysis).
2) Data mining and unsupervised machine learning to identify various profile of players and teams, by using cluster analysis, decision tree, Kohonen map, PCA, SNA, etc.
3) Mathematic modelling to determine law of control of collective behaviours.
The second objective of this Winter and Summer school is to provide an international experience to the students and the staff. In particular, students (5 to 10 participants) and staff from Sheffield Hallam university who are a privileged partner will visit the French university of Rouen Normandy during the Winter school in November 2018. The university of Rouen Normandy will also host 5 to 10 international students during the Winter school. Then, Sheffield Hallam university will host the students and the staff of the university of Rouen Normandy during a Summer school in May 2019. The aims of this international experience are:
1) To offer participants for whom English is not their first language chance to develop their English language skills, (with a prerequisite of B2 in English).
2) For participants – who will have various backgrounds and experience - to learn to from working in small groups made up of 4 - 5 persons from across the institutions involved in the Winter and Summer Schools.
3) For participants to learn how to lead an individual & collective project and to target a road map of one-week program.
