  1. Mean and standard deviations are reported over all trajectories in our validation dataset. The Graph Imputer model yields the lowest pitch control error across all baselines. Note that the Bidir. Role-invariant VRNN model, which comes closest to our Graph Imputer model in terms of performance, was handcrafted by us specifically for the football domain.
