Top Machine Learning Solution Companies

#artificialintelligence

Given the influx of information that organizations capture, navigating and extracting value from large, disconnected databases placed at different areas adds complexity and increased cost. It also can reduce efficiency and impede effective decision-making processes. Machine learning may be a subset of computer science (AI). It's focused on teaching computers to learn from data and to enhance with experience -- rather than being explicitly programmed to try to to so. In machine learning, algorithms are trained to seek out patterns and correlations in large data sets and to create the most straightforward decisions, and predictions support that analysis.


Dog Breed Classification App -- Udacity DSND

#artificialintelligence

In this project, we develop an algorithm that takes in an image and identifies if contains a dog or a human. If it does contain either a dog or a human, the algorithm will classify the dog's breed or the dog breed that closely resembles that human. This problem falls under the popular category of computer vision. To solve these problems we will be using machine learning methods. We will look at a couple of different methods for each problem and identify which is better. We will also focus on the dog breed classifier and use off-the-shelf tools for the human and dog detectors.

OpenHands: Making Sign Language Recognition Accessible with Pose-based Pretrained Models across Languages

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

AI technologies for Natural Languages have made tremendous progress recently. However, commensurate progress has not been made on Sign Languages, in particular, in recognizing signs as individual words or as complete sentences. We introduce OpenHands, a library where we take four key ideas from the NLP community for low-resource languages and apply them to sign languages for word-level recognition. First, we propose using pose extracted through pretrained models as the standard modality of data to reduce training time and enable efficient inference, and we release standardized pose datasets for 6 different sign languages - American, Argentinian, Chinese, Greek, Indian, and Turkish. Second, we train and release checkpoints of 4 pose-based isolated sign language recognition models across all 6 languages, providing baselines and ready checkpoints for deployment. Third, to address the lack of labelled data, we propose self-supervised pretraining on unlabelled data. We curate and release the largest pose-based pretraining dataset on Indian Sign Language (Indian-SL). Fourth, we compare different pretraining strategies and for the first time establish that pretraining is effective for sign language recognition by demonstrating (a) improved fine-tuning performance especially in low-resource settings, and (b) high crosslingual transfer from Indian-SL to few other sign languages. We open-source all models and datasets in OpenHands with a hope that it makes research in sign languages more accessible, available here at https://github.com/AI4Bharat/OpenHands .


Speech Summarization using Restricted Self-Attention

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Speech summarization is typically performed by using a cascade of speech recognition and text summarization models. End-to-end modeling of speech summarization models is challenging due to memory and compute constraints arising from long input audio sequences. Recent work in document summarization has inspired methods to reduce the complexity of self-attentions, which enables transformer models to handle long sequences. In this work, we introduce a single model optimized end-to-end for speech summarization. We apply the restricted self-attention technique from text-based models to speech models to address the memory and compute constraints. We demonstrate that the proposed model learns to directly summarize speech for the How-2 corpus of instructional videos. The proposed end-to-end model outperforms the previously proposed cascaded model by 3 points absolute on ROUGE. Further, we consider the spoken language understanding task of predicting concepts from speech inputs and show that the proposed end-to-end model outperforms the cascade model by 4 points absolute F-1.


Sign Language Recognition via Skeleton-Aware Multi-Model Ensemble

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Sign language is commonly used by deaf or mute people to communicate but requires extensive effort to master. It is usually performed with the fast yet delicate movement of hand gestures, body posture, and even facial expressions. Current Sign Language Recognition (SLR) methods usually extract features via deep neural networks and suffer overfitting due to limited and noisy data. Recently, skeleton-based action recognition has attracted increasing attention due to its subject-invariant and background-invariant nature, whereas skeleton-based SLR is still under exploration due to the lack of hand annotations. Some researchers have tried to use off-line hand pose trackers to obtain hand keypoints and aid in recognizing sign language via recurrent neural networks. Nevertheless, none of them outperforms RGB-based approaches yet. To this end, we propose a novel Skeleton Aware Multi-modal Framework with a Global Ensemble Model (GEM) for isolated SLR (SAM-SLR-v2) to learn and fuse multi-modal feature representations towards a higher recognition rate. Specifically, we propose a Sign Language Graph Convolution Network (SL-GCN) to model the embedded dynamics of skeleton keypoints and a Separable Spatial-Temporal Convolution Network (SSTCN) to exploit skeleton features. The skeleton-based predictions are fused with other RGB and depth based modalities by the proposed late-fusion GEM to provide global information and make a faithful SLR prediction. Experiments on three isolated SLR datasets demonstrate that our proposed SAM-SLR-v2 framework is exceedingly effective and achieves state-of-the-art performance with significant margins. Our code will be available at https://github.com/jackyjsy/SAM-SLR-v2


Open Player Modeling: Empowering Players through Data Transparency

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Data is becoming an important central point for making design decisions for most software. Game development is not an exception. As data-driven methods and systems start to populate these environments, a good question is: can we make models developed from this data transparent to users? In this paper, we synthesize existing work from the Intelligent User Interface and Learning Science research communities, where they started to investigate the potential of making such data and models available to users. We then present a new area exploring this question, which we call Open Player Modeling, as an emerging research area. We define the design space of Open Player Models and present exciting open problems that the games research community can explore. We conclude the paper with a case study and discuss the potential value of this approach.


Temporal Abstraction in Reinforcement Learning with the Successor Representation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Reasoning at multiple levels of temporal abstraction is one of the key attributes of intelligence. In reinforcement learning, this is often modeled through temporally extended courses of actions called options. Options allow agents to make predictions and to operate at different levels of abstraction within an environment. Nevertheless, approaches based on the options framework often start with the assumption that a reasonable set of options is known beforehand. When this is not the case, there are no definitive answers for which options one should consider. In this paper, we argue that the successor representation (SR), which encodes states based on the pattern of state visitation that follows them, can be seen as a natural substrate for the discovery and use of temporal abstractions. To support our claim, we take a big picture view of recent results, showing how the SR can be used to discover options that facilitate either temporally-extended exploration or planning. We cast these results as instantiations of a general framework for option discovery in which the agent's representation is used to identify useful options, which are then used to further improve its representation. This results in a virtuous, never-ending, cycle in which both the representation and the options are constantly refined based on each other. Beyond option discovery itself, we discuss how the SR allows us to augment a set of options into a combinatorially large counterpart without additional learning. This is achieved through the combination of previously learned options. Our empirical evaluation focuses on options discovered for temporally-extended exploration and on the use of the SR to combine them. The results of our experiments shed light on design decisions involved in the definition of options and demonstrate the synergy of different methods based on the SR, such as eigenoptions and the option keyboard.
