DeepEyedentification: identifying people based on micro eye movements
Past cognitive psychology research suggests that eye movements can differ substantially from one individual to another. Interestingly, these individual characteristics in eye movements have been found to be relatively stable over time and largely independent of what...
Researchers try to recreate human-like thinking in machines
Researchers at Oxford University have recently tried to recreate human thinking patterns in machines, using a language guided imagination (LGI) network. Their method, outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv, could inform the development of artificial intelligence...
A new approach for unsupervised paraphrasing without translation
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop methods for automatic paraphrasing, which essentially entails the automated abstraction of semantic content from text. So far, approaches that rely on machine translation (MT) techniques have proved particularly...
An approach to enhance question answering (QA) models
Identifying the correct answer to a question often entails gathering large amounts of information and understanding complex ideas. In a recent study, a team of researchers at New York University (NYU) and Facebook AI Research (FAIR) investigated the possibility of...
A CNN-based method to detect end-to-end multiplayer violence
Researchers at China University of Petroleum (CUP), in Beijing, have recently developed a new method for multiplayer violence detection based on deep 3-D convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Their method was presented in a paper published in ICNCC 2018: Proceedings...
A new method for understanding ancient coin images
Two researchers at the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland, have recently developed a new machine learning-based method for understanding images of ancient coins. Their study, pre-published on arXiv applies computer vision and machine learning to ancient numismatics.
Object detection in 4K and 8K video using GPUs
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have recently developed a new model that enables fast and accurate object detection in high-resolution 4K and 8K video footage using GPUs. Their attention pipeline method carries out a two-stage evaluation of every image or...
Emotion recognition based on paralinguistic information
Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have recently explored the use of machine learning for emotion recognition based solely on paralinguistic information. Paralinguistics are aspects of spoken communication that do not involve words, such as pitch,...
A new dynamic ensemble active learning method based on a non-stationary bandit
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh, University College London (UCL) and Nara Institute of Science and Technology have developed a new ensemble active learning approach based on a non-stationary multi-armed bandit and an expert advice algorithm. Their method,...
