In this paper, we present a method to apply intrinsic motivation for improving visuomotor learning of robot's arm with external object in view. Multiple Timescales Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN) is utilized for learning the robot arm/external object dynamics. Training of MTRNN is done using the Back Propagation Through Time (BPTT) algorithm. BPTT algorithm is modified as follows. 1. Evaluate predictability...
The ubiquity of smartphones with high quality cameras and fast network connections will spawn many new applications. One of these is visual object recognition, an emerging smartphone feature which could play roles in high-street shopping, price comparisons and similar uses. There are also potential roles for such technology in assistive applications, such as for people who have visual impairment....
We present a video summarization approach for egocentric or “wearable” camera data. Given hours of video, the proposed method produces a compact storyboard summary of the camera wearer's day. In contrast to traditional keyframe selection techniques, the resulting summary focuses on the most important objects and people with which the camera wearer interacts. To accomplish this, we develop region cues...
