AP produces Olympics-related content in six media types: text, photos, graphics, video, audio and interactives (the latter also known as complex data). Media types are part of content metadata and appear in the <apcm:MediaType> element in AP ATOM; for example: <apcm:MediaType>Photo</apcm:MediaType> For the XPath and possible MediaType values, see Appendix on page 10. ABOUT AP OLYMPIC METADATA TAGS The Associated Press has a collection of Olympics-related metadata tags that are applied to content in all media types. These tags can help you find, organize and publish content pertaining to the Winter Olympics for a specific year such as the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. The tags include: − An event term for content about a specific Olympic games year − Generic Olympic event terms that are applied to content on all Olympics, not just one particular year’s Olympics − Winter Olympics sports terms for content about those sports − Olympics-related organizations for content about the International Olympic Committee − Olympic teams for each country − Participating athletes ABOUT THIS GUIDE This guide provides a list of the Olympic metadata terms and the corresponding IDs, explains how to identify Olympic tags in the AP ATOM format of AP WebFeeds and offers guidance on searching for Olympic content in AP Exchange and AP Newsroom using metadata.

The tags are applied based on at least one mention of the athlete’s full name. For athletes, AP includes some additional information whenever they are identified in content. This indicates that they are sports figures and lets you identify and group them as such. − The Team property contains their national Olympic team and their professional team, if they play on one. − Their participation in 2018 Winter Olympics is shown in the AssociatedEvent property. Athletes and their properties are part of AP Party metadata; for example: <apcm:EntityClassification Authority="AP Party" Value="Erin Hamlin" Id="71efd55a03ac4c9a89465f825b1ab978"> <apcm:Property Id="384682bd7b494bab97766d2ab7912388" Name="PartyType" Value="PROFESSIONAL_ATHLETE"/> <apcm:Property Id="c474b8387e4e1004846ddf092526b43e" Name="PartyType" Value="SPORTS_FIGURE"/> <apcm:Property Id="d188b8b8886b100481accb8225d5863e" Name="PartyType" Value="PERSON"/> <apcm:Property Id="47a2f6181cff4d379227f49015d1a187" Name="AssociatedEvent" Value="2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Games"/> <apcm:Property Id="462944815f324656a0fdaf65e23d04f7" Name="Team" Value="United States Olympic Team"/> </apcm:EntityClassification> Note: The national Olympic team information for athletes will become available in AP ATOM closer to the start date of the games once athletes are confirmed for their teams.

Dissertation Advisors: Mark Glickman & Xiao-Li Meng Kathryn McKeough a A Tale of Two Multi-Phase Inference Applications Abstract Multi-phase inference refers to any sequential procedure where the results, or some realization of the output of one phase, is fed into another phase. Multi-phase models are becoming more prevalent in applied statistical analyses as data gets bigger and more complicated. They offer a solution for complex statistical problems where modeling all parameters jointly has its limitations. We explore two applications, one in sports analytics and astronomy, where we choose multi-phase models to explore our data. Part 1 - Predicting Athlete Performance: It is often the goal of sports analysts, coaches, and fans to predict athlete performance over time. Methods such as Elo, Glicko, and Plackett-Luce based ratings measure athlete skill based on results of competitions over time but have no predictive strength on their own. Growth curves are often applied in the context of sports to predict future ability, but these curves are too simple to account for complex career trajectories.
