When machines learn, what do they actually learn? How can we know for sure? Can there be a better way to learn?
For my dissertation research I have been trying to answer questions like these. If you are interested, join me in the IUI workshop for Explainable Smart Systems in L.A. this March. I’m presenting learn2Sign:a feedback driven technique to learn Sign Language.
Within Computer Science, my interests are in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Gesture Recognition, Sign Language Recognition and Natural Language Processing. I started to learn some American Sign Language myself, now that is fun!
Outside of Computer Science, I like to be informed on topics in Economics, Neuroscience, Social Psychology among others. (goodreads) I also like to think of myself as an avid hiker and an amateur photographer. (flikr)
Currently the projects I am actively involved in are:
- ClassroomVR: Towards making an accessible VR University environment
- DyFAV: Dynamic Feature Selection and Voting for Real-time Recognition of Fingerspelled Alphabet using Wearables (pdf)
- Sceptre: A pervasive, Non-Invasive, and Programmable Gesture Recognition Technology (pdf)
- Learn2Sign: A interactive tutor for Sign Language Learning
- GRUSI: Recognizing human actions and gestures using representative and human understandable Images.
- MirrorGen: Using human movement models in Unity for accurate gesture recognition using sensors
Some of them are still in the pipeline for being published so more details to come! But let me know if you are curious
Heres’ an article from back when I started with Sign Language Recognition! in MIT Tech Review
