Convolutional Neural Network Array for Sign Language Recognition using Wearable IMUs

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Advancements in gesture recognition algorithms have led to a significant growth in sign language translation. By making use of efficient intelligent models, signs can be recognized with precision. The proposed work presents a novel one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) array architecture for recognition of signs from the Indian sign language using signals recorded from a custom designed wearable IMU device. The IMU device makes use of tri-axial accelerometer and gyroscope. The signals recorded using the IMU device are segregated on the basis of their context, such as whether they correspond to signing for a general sentence or an interrogative sentence. The array comprises of two individual CNNs, one classifying the general sentences and the other classifying the interrogative sentence. Performances of individual CNNs in the array architecture are compared to that of a conventional CNN classifying the unsegregated dataset. Peak classification accuracies of 94.20% for general sentences and 95.00% for interrogative sentences achieved with the proposed CNN array in comparison to 93.50% for conventional CNN assert the suitability of the proposed approach.


Applying Artificial Intelligence to the Student Debt Crisis Omdena

#artificialintelligence

In this project, ShapingEDU will partner with Omdena's innovation platform to build an artificial intelligence solution to better understand -- and potentially recommend solutions to -- the student debt crisis. If you are a data scientist, data engineer, or domain expert you can apply to join the project and make a real-world impact. Student debt has reached crisis proportions. In the United States, student loan borrowers owed a collective $1.6 trillion in federal and private student loan debt as of March 2019, according to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Sixty-five percent of the class of 2018 graduated with student debt, according to the data available from The Institute for College Access & Success, a nonprofit organization that works to improve higher education access and affordability.


Deploy your Custom AI Models on Azure Machine Learning Service

#artificialintelligence

Before I begin, let me tell you that this post is part of the Microsoft Student Partners Developer Stories initiative, and is based on the AI and ML Track. We will be exploring various Azure services - Azure Notebooks, Machine Learning Service, Container Instances and Container Registry. This post is beginner-friendly and can be used by anyone to deploy their machine learning models to Azure in a Standard format. Even high school kids are creating Machine Learning models these days, using popular machine learning frameworks like Keras, PyTorch, Caffe, etc. The model format created in one framework slightly differs with the model format created in the other.


Future of AI Part 2

#artificialintelligence

This part of the series looks at the future of AI with much of the focus in the period after 2025. The leading AI researcher, Geoff Hinton, stated that it is very hard to predict what advances AI will bring beyond five years, noting that exponential progress makes the uncertainty too great. This article will therefore consider both the opportunities as well as the challenges that we will face along the way across different sectors of the economy. It is not intended to be exhaustive. Machine Learning is defined as the field of AI that applies statistical methods to enable computer systems to learn from the data towards an end goal. The term was introduced by Arthur Samuel in 1959. Deep Learning refers to the field of Neural Networks with several hidden layers. Such a neural network is often referred to as a deep neural network. Neural Networks are biologically inspired networks that extract abstract features from the data in a hierarchical fashion. Deep Reinforcement Learning will be considered in greater detail in part 3 of this series. For the purpose of this article I will consider AI to cover Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Narrow AI: the field of AI where the machine is designed to perform a single task and the machine gets very good at performing that particular task.


Practical Deep Learning: Image Search engine

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest growing fields of computer science today and the demand for excellent AI Engineers is increasing day in and day out. This course will help you stay competitive in the AI job market by teaching you how to create a Deep Learning End-to-End product on your own. Most courses focus on the basics of Deep Learning and teach you about the very basics of different models. In this course, however, you will learn how to write a whole End-to-End pipeline, from data preprocessing across choosing the right hyper-parameters, to showing your users results in a browser. The case that we will tackle in this course is an engine for Image to Image Search.


Best Resources to learn AI & Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Over the last few years, Deep Learning has proven itself to be the game-changer. This area of data science is the only one responsible for the advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence. From academic researches to self-driving cars, Deep Learning is found in all possible aspects nowadays. Deep Learning is a complex and a vast field that consists of several components. It cannot be mastered in a day and hence it will take several months if you want to dig deeper into this field.

Intel, Udacity Team Up to Train Edge AI Developers - EE Times India

#artificialintelligence

Intel is sponsoring an online course to help address the shortage of AIoT developers... Amid rapid growth in AI deployments across a variety of industry sectors, Intel has decided to address the skills shortage in AI-savvy developers by partnering with online technology learning platform Udacity to offer a course in edge AI for developers. "Historically, students have learned how to build and deploy deep learning models for the cloud. With Udacity, we are training AI developers to go where the data is generated in the physical world: the edge," said Jonathan Ballon, Intel vice president and general manager, Internet of Things Group. "Optimizing direct deployment of models on edge devices requires knowledge of unique constraints like power, network bandwidth and latency, varying compute architectures and more. The skills this course delivers will allow developers -- and companies that hire them, to implement learnings on real-world applications across a variety of fields."


Tensorflow 2.0: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

BESTSELLER, 4.7 (143 ratings), Created by Lazy Programmer Team, Lazy Programmer Inc. English [Auto-generated] It's been nearly 4 years since Tensorflow was released, and the library has evolved to its official second version. Tensorflow is Google's library for deep learning and artificial intelligence. Deep Learning has been responsible for some amazing achievements recently, such as: Generating beautiful, photo-realistic images of people and things that never existed (GANs) Beating world champions in the strategy game Go, and complex video games like CS:GO and Dota 2 (Deep Reinforcement Learning) Self-driving cars (Computer Vision) Speech recognition (e.g. Siri) and machine translation (Natural Language Processing) Even creating videos of people doing and saying things they never did (DeepFakes - a potentially nefarious application of deep learning) Tensorflow is the world's most popular library for deep learning, and it's built by Google, whose parent Alphabet recently became the most cash-rich company in the world (just a few days before I wrote this). It is the library of choice for many companies doing AI and machine learning.


How to fix reinforcement learning

#artificialintelligence

"Value functions are a core component of [RL] systems. The main idea is to to construct a single function approximator V(s; θ) that estimates the long-term reward from any state s, using parameters θ. In this paper we introduce universal value function approximators (UVFAs) V(s, g; θ) that generalise not just over states s but also over goals g." Here is a rigorous, mathematical formulation of RL that treats goals (the high-level objective of the skill to be learned, which should yield good rewards) as a fundamental and necessary input rather than something to be discovered from just the reward signal. The agent is told what it's supposed to do, just as is done in zero-shot learning and actual human learning. It has been 3 years since this was published, and how many papers have cited it since?
