Ried, May 2016 3 FISCHER HISTORY THE HISTORY OF FISCHER FISCHER IS AN OUTSTANDING INNOVATOR IN THE ALPINE SKI SECTOR. From sledges to Skifahrwerk™ (the latest ski suspensi- on technology). FISCHER has been at home in the snow for more than 80 years. Based in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, the company offers a complete range of Alpine and cross country ski equipment. Skis, boots, bindings, tennis rackets and hockey sticks are sold worldwide. The company was founded in 1924 by Josef Fischer se- nior, who in the beginning mainly produced rack wagons and toboggans, plus skis made to order. By 1934 the fac- tory employed 85 staff and was making 40,000 pairs of skis. In 1958 FISCHER evolved from being merely a ski manuf- acturer into a brand. Rudolf Ferch designed the corporate logo consisting of three equal triangles. At the time nobo- dy could have guessed that it was to become one of the most famous symbols in the sport industry. In 1964 all signs point to success: with Austrian Egon Zimmermann’s victory in the Olympic Downhill in Inns- bruck FISCHER wins the first Gold medal in its history. More than 250,000 pairs of skis are sold in this season. The winning “Alu-Steel” ski was the first metal ski to make a breakthrough with 40% of the market share worldwide. Franz Klammer heralds a golden era on the FISCHER C4 starting in 1973. The national hero wins the Olympics in Innsbruck in 1976, dominates Alpine racing for years and goes down in the history books as the most successful downhill skier of all time. 4 In 2001 with the help of “Frequency Tuning” a start is made HISTORY on improving the oscillation properties of skis. The result - much smoother running skis - conquer the market the very next season. In 2003 FISCHER enters new ground by launching Soma-Tec, the first ski boot to adapt to the anatomy of the human foot. The feet can now maintain their natural V-Position, even while skiing. Comfort that has a very positive influence on performance. SKI The Hole Ski, already used by Fischer in the speed disci- plines between 1975 and 1985, has been back in the World Cup since 07l08. There was a milestone in the development of ski boots in 2011. Fischer launched VACUUM FIT at ISPO, causing a sensation with a development that has truly revolutionised the boot market. The first ski boot that has a 100% fit! BINDING SYSTEM 14I15: Fischer develops the first ski tour boot which is fully adaptable. For the first time VACUUM is available also for a touring ski boot. More freedom of movement, better power transfer and a perfect fit - Fischer Transalp VACUUM: a new milestone. BINDINGS 15I16: Improved efficiency and less energy consumption due to optimized glide characteristics: Fischer’s exclusive new PROFOIL is the easy-to-use and lightweight solution for back- country adventurers, randonnée skiers, and winter alpinists. This revolutionary adhesive full-length ski base attachment powered by Fischer’s Crown Technology allows you to BOOTS lengthen your uphill stride and provides permanent grip in all conditions. 16I17: THE CURV: Absolute curve performance in an exclusi- ve form developed by the three skiing legends Hans Knauss, Mike von Grüningen and Kristian Ghedina.

  • In-Game Communications Analysis As an Indicator of Recognition Primed Decision Making in Elite Australian Rules Football Umpires
    Neville, T.J., Salmon, P.M. Look Who’s Talking - In-game Communications Analysis as an Indicator of Recognition Primed Decision Making in Elite Australian Rules Football Umpires Look Who’s Talking - In-game Communications Analysis as an Indicator of Recognition Primed Decision Making in Elite Australian Rules Football Umpires Timothy J. NEVILLEa,b, Paul M. SALMONa a University of the Sunshine Coast Accident Research, The University of the Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs, Queensland, Australia b Joint and Operations Analysis Division, The Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Canberra, Australia ABSTRACT Officials in sport operate in a naturalistic environment making rapid decisions under stress. In sport, decision making research has identified consistent results between the three different ‘variations’ of the Recognition Primed Decision (RPD) model. This paper presents the findings from a study applying the RPD model to the decision making of Australian Rules Football (AFL) umpires. Method: Audible communication instances from AFL Field umpires were transcribed. The data was coded into ‘decision moments’; each decision moment was analysed to identify if the decision conformed to one of the three RPD model variations. Results: Within the 6025 communication instances 887 decision moments were identified. 78% of the decision moments were classified as Variation 1, 18% as Variation 2 and 3.5 % as Variation 3. Discussion: Decision making in AFL umpires is characterized by a similar RPD breakdown as decision making by players in sport.

    Contextualisation of eCommerce Users Hassan Elhabbak Benoît Descamps Digital Advanced Analytics Digital Advanced Analytics Adidas International,Amsterdam Adidas International,Amsterdam Netherlands, 1101 BA Netherlands, 1101 BA [email protected] [email protected] Elisabeth Fischer Data Science Chair Julius-Maximilians Universität W’urzburg´ Germany, 91074 [email protected] Sakis Athanasiadis Digital Advanced Analytics Adidas International,Amsterdam Netherlands, 1101 BA [email protected] Abstract A scaleable modelling framework for the consumer intent within the setting of e-Commerce is presented. The methodology applies contextualisation through embeddings borrowed from Natural Language Processing. By considering the user session journeys throughough the pages of a website as documents, we capture contextual relationships between pages, as well as the topics of the of user visits. Finally, we empirically study the consistency and the stability of the presented framework. 1 Introduction Millions of users interact daily on global e-Commerce websites yielding billions of data points. Understanding the users’ intent is a key step towards personalising their consumer journeys. However, arXiv:2011.01874v1 [cs.SI] 8 Oct 2020 extracting the true user intent from the noise is a daunting task. Every single user interaction is unfortunately not necessarily representative of a user’s visit. Click interactions are known to be noisy and highly biased as shown in the case of recommendation Aslanyan & Porwal (2018). Despite the above, these interactions have been found to be valuable sources of implicit feedback Joachims et al. (2007). In this work, we take a few steps to address this challenge, aiming to provide a definition of consumer intent within an e-Commerce setting.
