Activity Progress Prediction: Is there progress in video progress prediction methods?

In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of current progress prediction methods on the currently used benchmark datasets. We show that the progress prediction methods can fail to extract useful information from visual data on these datasets. Moreover, when the methods fail to extract visual information, memory-based methods adopt a frame...

Multi Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient for Active Wake Control

In wind farms wind turbines are often placed close to each other. Each turbine generates a turbulent wake field, this field negatively affects subsequent turbines. This can cost more than 12% efficiency. To decrease this loss we can steer the turbines away from the wind direction, this will decrease the individual turbine power output, but can...

A study of the impact of CNN architecture variation on predicting brain activity using feature-weighted receptive fields

This study investigates the relationship between deep learning models and the human brain, specifically focusing on the prediction of brain activity in response to static visual stimuli using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). By leveraging intermediate outputs of pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with feature-weighted...

Physics-informed Data Augmentation for Human Radar Signatures

In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have seen a surge in popularity due to their ability to model complex patterns and relationships in data. One of the challenges of using NNs is the requirement for large amounts of labelled data to train the model effectively. In many real-world applications such as radar, labelled data may be scarce due to...

Point Transformer-Based Human Activity Recognition Using High-Dimensional Radar Point Clouds

Radar-based Human Activity Recognition(HAR) is considered by using snapshots of point clouds. Such point cloudsinterpret 2D images generated by an mm-wave FMCW MIMO radar enriched byincluding Doppler and temporal information. We use the similarity between suchradar data representation and the core of the self-attention concept inartificial...

Point Transformer-Based Human Activity Recognition using high-dimensional Radar Point Clouds

Today, with increasingly aging population, healthcare systems in many countries need to improve their effectiveness, and the automatic HAR technology can be beneficial.

Angle-insensitive Human Motion and Posture Recognition Based on 4D imaging Radar and Deep Learning Classifiers

The need for technologies for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in home environments is becoming more and more urgent because of the aging population worldwide. Radar-based HAR is typically using micro-Doppler signatures as one of the main data representations, in conjunction with classification algorithms often inspired from deep learning...

Aligning AI with Human Norms: Multi-Objective Deep Reinforcement Learning with Active Preference Elicitation

The field of deep reinforcement learning has seen major successes recently, achieving superhuman performance in discrete games such as Go and the Atari domain, as well as astounding results in continuous robot locomotion tasks. However, the correct specification of human intentions in a reward function is highly challenging, which is why state...

Online reinforcement learning with sparse rewards through an active inference capsule

Intelligent agents must pursue their goals in complex environments with partial information and often limited computational capacity. Reinforcement learning methods have achieved great success by creating agents that optimize engineered reward functions, but which often struggle to learn in sparse-reward environments, generally require many...

Human Activity Recognition using a Deep Learning Algorithm for Patient Monitoring

Physical activity and mobility are important indicators of the recovery process of patients in the general ward of the hospital. Currently, monitoring mobility of hospitalized patients relies largely on direct observation from the caregivers. Accelerometers have the potential to quantify physical activity of patients objectively and without...

Multimodal Deep Learning for the Classification of Human Activity: Radar and Video data fusion for the classification of human activity

Persistent surveillance is an urgent proficiency. For security, surveillance cameras are a strong asset as they support the automatic tracking of people and are directly interpretable by a human operator. Radar on the other hand can be used under a broad range of circumstances: radar can penetrate mediums such as clouds, fogs, mist and snow, and...
