Emotion Detection Using Facial Expression

#artificialintelligence

Facial expression is one of the most effective forms of nonverbal communication. The facial expressions basically tell the state of mind of the person. The Facial Expression Recognition (FER) model can be used by different companies in order to keep track of the mental health of their employees. The FER model can be used in Online Learning Environment by the teachers so that the teachers can find out whether their students are taking interest in the lecture or not. As technology is advancing at a very fast rate, we know there will be more and more Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) in the future, we also know that facial expressions give a significant amount of information that could be useful in the HMI environment.


Updates and Lessons from AI Forecasting

#artificialintelligence

Earlier this year, my research group commissioned 6 questions for professional forecasters to predict about AI. They have financial incentives to produce accurate forecasts; the rewards total \$5k per question (\$30k total) and payoffs are (close to) a proper scoring rule, meaning forecasters are rewarded for outputting calibrated probabilities. You're in luck, because I'm going to answer each of these in the following sections! Feel free to skim to the ones that interest you the most. The particular questions were designed by my students Alex Wei, Collin Burns, Jean-Stanislas Denain, and Dan Hendrycks.



Synthetic Data Evaluation*

#artificialintelligence

Hey there, WhatsUp! finally, we are close to the end of the synthetic data topic. As we have seen in our previous articles the ways from classical to deep learning approaches to create synthetic data. Today we will discuss how to evaluate them based on their real data. Now further this evaluation is divided into a few different ways to evaluate. The output value does not only depend on how good our synthetic data is, but also on how hard the machine learning problem that we are trying to solve is.


Building a Decision Support System for Automated Mobile Asthma Monitoring in Remote Areas

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for the development of several health applications using smartphone as a platform for data acquisition, analysis and presentation. Such areas where mhealth systems have been extensively deployed include monitoring of long term health conditions like Cardio Vascular Diseases and pulmonary disorders, as well as detection of changes from baseline measurements of such conditions. Asthma is one of the respiratory conditions with growing concern across the globe due to the economic, social and emotional burden associated with the ailment. The management and control of asthma can be improved by consistent monitoring of the condition in realtime since attack could occur anytime and anywhere. This paper proposes the use of smartphone equipped with embedded sensors, to capture and analyze early symptoms of asthma triggered by exercise. The system design is based on Decision Support System techniques for measuring and analyzing the level and type of patients physical activity as well as weather conditions that predispose asthma attack. Preliminary results show that smartphones can be used to monitor and detect asthma symptoms without other networked devices. This would enhance the usability of the health system while ensuring users data privacy, and reducing the overall cost of system deployment. Further, the proposed system can serve as a handy tool for a quick medical response for asthmatics in low income countries where there are limited access to specialized medical devices and shortages of health professionals. Development of such monitoring systems signals a positive response to lessen the global burden of asthma.


Deeptime: a Python library for machine learning dynamical models from time series data

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Generation and analysis of time-series data is relevant to many quantitative fields ranging from economics to fluid mechanics. In the physical sciences, structures such as metastable and coherent sets, slow relaxation processes, collective variables, dominant transition pathways or manifolds and channels of probability flow can be of great importance for understanding and characterizing the kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanistic properties of the system. Deeptime is a general purpose Python library offering various tools to estimate dynamical models based on time-series data including conventional linear learning methods, such as Markov state models (MSMs), Hidden Markov Models and Koopman models, as well as kernel and deep learning approaches such as VAMPnets and deep MSMs. The library is largely compatible with scikit-learn, having a range of Estimator classes for these different models, but in contrast to scikit-learn also provides deep Model classes, e.g. in the case of an MSM, which provide a multitude of analysis methods to compute interesting thermodynamic, kinetic and dynamical quantities, such as free energies, relaxation times and transition paths. The library is designed for ease of use but also easily maintainable and extensible code. In this paper we introduce the main features and structure of the deeptime software.


A deep understanding of deep learning (with Python intro)

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is increasingly dominating technology and has major implications for society. From self-driving cars to medical diagnoses, from face recognition to deep fakes, and from language translation to music generation, deep learning is spreading like wildfire throughout all areas of modern technology. But deep learning is not only about super-fancy, cutting-edge, highly sophisticated applications. Deep learning is increasingly becoming a standard tool in machine-learning, data science, and statistics. Deep learning is used by small startups for data mining and dimension reduction, by governments for detecting tax evasion, and by scientists for detecting patterns in their research data.


How the DeepMind Scholarship Benefits Our Students

#artificialintelligence

We caught up with Darius to discuss a bit about his experience with the DeepMind scholarship and how it has supported both his educational and professional development. This interview was lightly edited for clarity. Tell us a bit about your experience as a DeepMind Scholar. I was very happy to be selected as a DeepMind Scholar. It created many opportunities for me by allowing me to live and work in New York, where it was very easy to network and learn from a diverse group of accomplished data scientists.
