  1. Machine Learning Damon Waring 22 April 2003

  2. Agenda • Problem, Solution, Benefits • Machine Learning Overview/Basics • Face detection, recognition, and demo • How this applies to us • Summary

  3. Problem Software frequently requires users or developers to do simple, repetitive tasks

  4. Solution • Machine Learning • “The study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience” –Tom Mitchell, Machine Learning • Machine learning uses include: • Security (Pattern recognition, face recognition) • Business (Stocks, user behaviors) • Medical (Research) • Ease of Use (Focus of this presentation) Algorithms that execute based on experience

  5. Benefits • Makes human-computer interaction easier • Relatively simple to integrate • Will distinguish your product from others • Increase customer satisfaction • Will improve simple intelligent systems (ex: Microsoft Word’s grammar checker) Enhances the user experience

  6. Training Mode Training Set Iteratively analyze inputs and refine algorithm Store learned data Operation Mode New input Process input using learned data Produce a decision High Level Operation:Recognition Algorithms “Learn from nature. It has had 4 billion years to develop its techniques” – My Dad Recognition algorithms are taught and react like humans

  7. Case Study: Artificial Neural Network • Takes N inputs • Calculates the weight each input has on final decision • Neuron outputs a 1 if the decision is true, 0 if it is false • Groups of neurons make up an artificial neural network Group of weighted input values determine a binary output

  8. Face Detection • Image pyramid used to locate faces of different sizes • Image lighting compensation • Neural Network detects rotation of face candidate • Final face candidate de-rotated ready for detection

  9. Face Detection (Con’t) • Submit image to Neural Network • Break image into segments • Each segment is a unique input to the network • Each segment looks for certain patterns (eyes, mouth, etc) • Output is likelihood of a face

  10. Face Recognition and demo • Demo: Hidden Markov Model Face Recognition • Observes location of facial features with respect to each other • Person is found through unique “fingerprint” created by distances between features • Demo is from OpenCV – Intel’s open source computer vision library Implementations vary widely and have different success rates

  11. Adobe Photoshop Album • Software that organizes digital pictures • Tags are dragged to each photo to categorize it • Tagging 100’s of photos is tedious • Face recognition could automatically tag photos or replace tags altogether Machine learning can be used to make everyday apps easier

  12. Current Uses of ML • DivX – Face detection • POV-Ray – Neural Net learns memory accesses • Ancestry.com – Uses Optical Character Recognition to digitize newspapers • Deep Blue Junior – Less powerful than Deep Blue, but smarter because of Neural Networks

  13. Other Areas • Artificial Intelligence (AI) • Data Mining • Fuzzy Logic • Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

  14. Summary • Machine learning is possible today • Large amounts of research are available • Quality open source code available in some areas • Will require time and creativity to implement • Why do it? Makes human-computer interface simpler
