We present MubyNet -- a feed-forward, multitask, bottom up system for the integrated localization, as well as 3d pose and shape estimation, of multiple people in monocular images. The challenge is the formal modeling of the problem that intrinsically requires discrete and continuous computation, e.g.

Scientists have uncovered hidden patterns in the Bible that challenge ancient beliefs about its origins. Using artificial intelligence, they discovered'fingerprints' in text throughout the Old Testament, suggesting multiple people wrote the stories. The traditional Jewish and Christian understanding is that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, including stories about creation, Noah's flood and the Ark of the Covenant. The new study found three distinct writing styles with distinct vocabulary, tone and focus areas, suggesting multiple authors and sources contributed to the books over time. Researchers used AI analyzed for 50 chapters across five books, uncovering inconsistencies in language and content, repeated stories, shifts in tone and internal contradictions.

A health crisis is raging all over the world with the rapid transmission of the novel-coronavirus disease (Covid-19). Out of the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to protect us against Covid-19, wearing a facemask is the most effective. Many countries have necessitated the wearing of face masks, but monitoring a large number of people to ensure that they are wearing masks in a crowded place is a challenging task in itself. The novel-coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has already affected our day-to-day life as well as world trade movements. By the end of April 2021, the world has recorded 144,358,956 confirmed cases of novel-coronavirus disease (Covid-19) including 3,066,113 deaths according to the world health organization (WHO). These increasing numbers motivate automated techniques for the detection of a facemask in real-time scenarios for the prevention of Covid-19. We propose a technique using deep learning that works for single and multiple people in a frame recorded via webcam in still or in motion. We have also experimented with our approach in night light. The accuracy of our model is good compared to the other approaches in the literature; ranging from 74% for multiple people in a nightlight to 99% for a single person in daylight.

Understanding the complexity of human activities solely through an individual's data can be challenging. However, in many situations, surrounding individuals are likely performing similar activities, while existing human activity recognition approaches focus almost exclusively on individual measurements and largely ignore the context of the activity. Consider two activities: attending a small group meeting and working at an office desk. From solely an individual's perspective, it can be difficult to differentiate between these activities as they may appear very similar, even though they are markedly different. Yet, by observing others nearby, it can be possible to distinguish between these activities. In this paper, we propose an approach to enhance the prediction accuracy of an individual's activities by incorporating insights from surrounding individuals. We have collected a real-world dataset from 20 participants with over 58 hours of data including activities such as attending lectures, having meetings, working in the office, and eating together. Compared to observing a single person in isolation, our proposed approach significantly improves accuracy. We regard this work as a first step in collaborative activity recognition, opening new possibilities for understanding human activity in group settings.
