Reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning algorithm, where an “agent” interacts with an “environment”. The agent’s “policy”, i. e. the choice of actions in response to the environment’s reward, is updated to increase some reward. Neural network based reinforcement learning techniques are successfully applied access vast variety of applications.

A reinforcement learning agent interacts with its environment in discrete time steps. At each time t, the agent receives an observation o_{t}, which typically includes the reward r_{t}. It then chooses an action a_{t} from the set of available actions, which is subsequently sent to the environment. The environment moves to a new state s_{t+1} and the reward r_{t+1} associated with the transition (s_{t},a_{t},s_{t+1}) is determined. The goal of a reinforcement learning agent is to collect as much reward as possible.

AI for Balance-Control Fall Detection of Elderly People

Artificial Intelligence for Balance Control and Fall Detection of Elderly People

Balance control in elderly people is one of the key issues of old age. Artificial Intelligence can play a big role to solve this issue. In this research work, we demonstrate the application of machine learning techniques for posture alignments and the control of the body center of mass for disable people.

Designing automated balance control system for elderly people is one of the key project  of our Compassionate AI Lab. Here, Dr. Amit Ray discuses about one of the recent project of AI using deep learning algorithms for automatic balance control of elderly people. He explains how machine learning algorithms can be used to study and improve the dynamical properties of postural stability of elderly people. The project focuses on how image recognition, human-body joint dynamics, and path navigation methods of artificial intelligence can be used  to eliminate the imbalance, fall and injury of elderly people or for physically challenged people.

AI for Balance-Control Fall Detection of Elderly People

Compassionate Artificial Intelligence can be used for helping elderly people in many ways. Here, we discuss about one of our recent project of using AI & deep learning techniques for automatic balance control. The machine learning algorithms are used to improve dynamical properties of postural stability. In this project AI based machine learning algorithms are used to find the insights into the person specific postural strategies for older adults in order to adapt to the postural challenges during sleeping, standing, turning and walking. To study the body movement behavior of elderly people accurately, it is necessary to observe and record their movement trajectory and joint movements quantitatively and precisely in three dimensions.Read More »Artificial Intelligence for Balance Control and Fall Detection of Elderly People

Brain-Computer Interface and Compassionate Artificial Intelligence to Serve Humanity

Brain-Computer Interface and Compassionate Artificial Intelligence

Dr. Amit Ray

The purpose of Compassionate AI is to remove the pain from the society and help humanity. We focused on developing AI based low cost BCI based interfaces for helping disable people.

Artificial Intelligence with Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) or Brain Machine Interface (BMI) is a fast-growing emerging technology for removing pains from the society. Here,  Dr. Amit Ray explains how with the advancement of artificial intelligence and exploration of new mobile bio-monitoring  devices, earphones, neuroprosthetic, wireless  wearable sensors, it is possible to monitor  thoughts and activities of brain neurons  and serve humanity.

This research is going to be immensely  beneficial for the physically and mentally challenged people as well as for the people who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental disorders or brain problems. Over the last 5 years, technologies for non-invasive transmission of information from brains to computers have developed considerably.

Brain-Computer Interface and Compassionate AI

Here, researchers focus to build a direct communication link between the human brain and the smartphones, earphone, computers or other devices. With BCI mind can speak silently with a smartphone or other devices.  Recent advancement of neuroprosthetic, linking the human nervous system to computers and providing unprecedented control of artificial limbs and restoring lost sensory function.

 BCI establishes two way communications between the brain and the machine.  One is  brain-computer interface and another is called computer-brain interfaces (CBI). BCI hopes to create new communication channels for disabled or elderly persons using their brain signals. Read More »Brain-Computer Interface and Compassionate Artificial Intelligence to Serve Humanity

7 Limitations of Deep Learning Algorithms of AI

7 Limitations of Deep Learning Algorithms of AI

Sri Amit Ray tells us about the power and limitations of Deep Learning Architectures of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Deep learning architectures of Artificial Intelligence has provided remarkable capabilities and advances in voice recognition, face recognition, pattern recognition, image understanding, natural language processing, game planning language translation, and search engine optimization. Deep learning is the key technology behind self-driving car. However, deep learning algorithms of AI have several inbuilt limitations. This article is focused to explain the power and limitations of current deep learning algorithms. It also provides the directions and lights to overcome the limits of deep learning algorithms to achieve higher levels learning capabilities.

Deep Learning Algorithms in AI Power and Limitations

Types of Machine Learning:

There are three core types of machine learning: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm uses the training data to learn a link between the input and the outputs. It predicts the output from the trained network.  

Unsupervised learning does not use output data. It uses dimensionality reduction algorithms, Clustering algorithm, such as K-means etc. The most common unsupervised learning method is cluster analysis. Unsupervised learning algorithms can perform more complex processing tasks than supervised learning systems.
