A convolutional network to align and predict emotion annotations
Machine learning models that can recognize and predict human emotions have become increasingly popular over the past few years. In order for most of these techniques to perform well, however, the data used to train them is first annotated by human subjects. Moreover,...
Addressing the obstacles preventing the commercialization of lithium-rich layered sulfides
Anionic redox chemistry is a fairly new research area that could pave the way for the development of more efficient lithium ion-battery cathode materials such as Li-rich layered oxides. So far, however, anionic redox chemistry approaches have been found to have...
A new approach for modeling central pattern generators (CPGs) in reinforcement learning
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are biological neural circuits that can produce coordinated rhythmic outputs without requiring rhythmic inputs. CPGs are responsible for most rhythmic motions observed in living organisms, such as walking, breathing or swimming.
A deep learning technique to generate real-time lip sync for live 2-D animation
Live 2-D animation is a fairly new and powerful form of communication that allows human performers to control cartoon characters in real time while interacting and improvising with other actors or members of an audience. Recent examples include Stephen Colbert...
A new method to enable robust locomotion in a quadruped robot
One of the key challenges for robotics research is the development of effective and resilient control systems, which allow robots to navigate a variety of environments and deal with unexpected events. Researchers at the University of Oslo have recently developed an...
Using machine learning to reconstruct deteriorated Van Gogh drawings
Researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands have recently developed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model to reconstruct drawings that have deteriorated over time. In their study, published in Springer's Machine Vision and Applications, they specifically...
Researchers develop a fleet of 16 miniature cars for cooperative driving experiments
A team of researchers at The University of Cambridge has recently introduced a unique experimental testbed that could be used for experiments in cooperative driving. This testbed, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, consists of 16 miniature Ackermann-steering...
An approach for securing audio classification against adversarial attacks
Adversarial audio attacks are small perturbations that are not perceivable by humans and are intentionally added to audio signals to impair the performance of machine learning (ML) models. These attacks raise serious concerns about the security of ML models, as they...
Evolving neural networks with a linear growth in their behavior complexity
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are designed to replicate the behavior and evolution of biological organisms while solving computing problems. In recent years, many researchers have developed EAs and used them to tackle a variety of optimization tasks.
