Dominik Raabe

Dominik Raabe is a researcher at the Institute of Exercise Training and Sport Informatics at the German Sport University Cologne. His work bridges team sports analysis with machine learning methodologies, focusing on spatiotemporal data modeling, tactical periodization, and addressing data sparsity in sports forecasting.

• Active in projects like Integrative Team Sport Research (ITSR) and floodlight
• Collaborates with Daniel Memmert (25 shared publications) and Robert Rein (13 shared publications)
• Specializes in team behavior dynamics, machine learning applications, and coaching technology

Raabe’s recent work explores deep learning for team sports analysis, hysteresis effects in soccer formations, and improving objectivity in football match analysis. His research integrates data analytics with sports psychology to refine tactical decision-making.

Key publications include studies on data imputation in sports forecasting (2025) and spatiotemporal modeling in team sports (2024). Collaborative projects with third-party funding, such as Datenbasierte Sportspielanalyse (2021-2024) and DFL Positionsdaten (2014-2015), highlight his interdisciplinary approach.
