question:
Kinect skeleton tracker is able to achieve considerable human body tracking performance in convenient and a low-cost manner. However, The tracker often captures unnatural human poses such as discontinuous and vibrated motions when self-occlusions occur. A majority of approaches tackle this problem by using multiple Kinect sensors in a workspace. Combination of the measurements from different sensors is then conducted in Kalman filter framework or optimization problem is formulated for sensor fusion. However, these methods usually require heuristics to measure reliability of measurements observed from each Kinect sensor. In this paper, we developed a method to improve Kinect skeleton using single Kinect sensor, in which supervised learning technique was employed to correct unnatural tracking motions. Specifically, deep recurrent neural networks were used for improving joint positions and velocities of Kinect skeleton, and three methods were proposed to integrate the refined positions and velocities for further enhancement. Moreover, we suggested a novel measure to evaluate naturalness of captured motions. We evaluated the proposed approach by comparison with the ground truth obtained using a commercial optical maker-based motion capture system.
answer:
Tracking Human-like Natural Motion Using Deep Recurrent Neural Networks


question:
We investigate the use of temporally abstract actions, or macro-actions, in the solution of Markov decision processes. Unlike current mod­ els that combine both primitive actions and macro-actions and leave the state space un­ changed, we propose a hierarchical model (using an abstract MDP) that works with macro-actions only, and that significantly reduces the size of the state space. This is achieved by treating macro­ actions as local policies that act in certain regions of state space, and by restricting states in the ab­ stract MDP to those at the boundaries of regions. The abstract MDP approximates the original and can be solved more efficiently. We discuss sev­ eral ways in which macro-actions can be gen­ erated to ensure good solution quality. Finally, we consider ways in which macro-actions can be reused to solve multiple, related MDPs; and we show that this can justify the computational over­ head of macro-action generation.

question:
The paper presents a knowledge representation language A log which extends ASP with aggregates. The goal is to have a language based on simple syntax and clear intuitive and mathematical semantics. We give some properties of A log, an algorithm for computing its answer sets, and comparison with other approaches.
answer:
