A model-free deep reinforcement learning approach to tackle neural control problems
Brian Mitchell and Linda Petzold, two researchers at the University of California, have recently applied model-free deep reinforcement learning to models of neural dynamics, achieving very promising results.
Analyzing book reading behavior on Goodreads to predict Amazon Bestsellers
Researchers at Northwestern University, Microsoft Research India, and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur have recently developed a model to predict whether a book will become a bestseller on Amazon within 15 days of its publication. Their model, outlined in...
An emotional deep alignment network (DAN) to classify and visualize emotions
Researchers at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology and Warsaw University of Technology have developed a deep alignment network (DAN) model to classify and visualize emotions. Their method was found to outperform state-of-the-art emotion...
A neural network to extract knowledgeable snippets and documents
Every day, millions of articles are published on social media and other platforms, receiving a vast amounts of clicks and shares from users navigating the web. Many of these articles contain useful information that, if extracted, could be used to compile knowledge...
Big Data Analytics to automatically detect events in smart cities
With a growing number of devices connected to the internet and countless people sharing their live experiences online, a huge amount of useful data is being generated every minute. The analysis of this data could improve the dissemination and understanding of...
Exploring the resurrection of digital consciousness using AI
Researchers at Shree Devi Institute of Technology, in India, have recently carried out a study investigating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate with deceased loved ones. Like in the chilling sci-fi fantasy foreshadowed by popular television series...
An evaluation of mouse dynamics for intrusion detection
Researchers at Sapientia University in Romania and Université de Lyon have recently carried out a performance evaluation of unrestricted mouse usage for impostor detection. Their findings, pre-published on arXiv, suggest that drag-and-drop mouse actions are the most...
A new developmental reinforcement learning approach for sensorimotor space enlargement
Researchers at the University of Lorraine have recently devised a new type of transfer learning based on model-free deep reinforcement learning with continuous sensorimotor space enlargement. Their approach, presented in a paper published during the eighth Joint IEEE...
A light-weight and accurate deep learning model for audiovisual emotion recognition
Researchers at Orange Labs and Normandie University have developed a novel deep neural model for audiovisual emotion recognition that performs well with small training sets. Their study, which was pre-published on arXiv, follows a philosophy of simplicity,...
