In Proceedings of the 14th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI '12). In Proceedings of the 15th ACM on International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI '13). Therefore, the goal was to maximize F1. This process is repeated to create distribution to be used to train a gesture recognizer. 2002. The importance of these recognizers stems from the fact that they enable HCl researchers to focus on UI design rather than fret over advanced machine learning concepts, or libraries and toolkits that may not be available for their platform. In Table 10, it can be seen that current method with IP achieves the highest accuracy for all frame count levels. It should be noted that when referenced, an “end-user” is an operator of the software as opposed to a developer or author who modifies the underlying source code of the software. [Kenny Davila, Stephanie Ludi, and Richard Zanibbi. The rejection threshold is important in balancing precision (tp/(tp+fp)) and recall (tp/(tp+fn)), and the F1 score is the harmonic mean of these measures. Two parametric recognizers, Rubine's linear classifier [Dean Rubine. The generation of synthetic positive samples requires a different approach. Further, a stroke is defined as an ordered list of 2D points p=(pi=(xi, yi)| i=1 . The interpretation of CID is that a good CF is able to capture information about the dissimilarity of two time series for which the base distance measure is unable, though the CF measure does not necessarily need to relate to notions of complexity. There are quite a few papers and code repositories for generating synthetic time-series data using special functions and patterns observed in real-life multivariate time series. For a fuller understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. As mentioned before, caching 2048 Perlin noise maps requires 64 MiB of storage which may constrain its use on devices where available memory for applications is limited to a few hundred megabytes. 2011. But generating synthetic time-series data or sequential data is significantly harder than tabular data. 2007. Methods that work on ink can broadly be divided into two categories: those that replicate feature distributions of the population (such as pen-lifts and velocity) and those that apply perturbations to the given data. Results of the current method are shown in Table 11, which were obtained using the user-dependent protocol [Salman Cheema et al., 2013] described previously. In certain embodiments, synthetic strokes are generated via these extraction, normalization, and concatenation steps. 1995. To prevent this issue, one can constrain the amount of warping allowed. 618-622 vol.1; Tamás Varga and Horst Bunke. Writer-independent mean accuracies for several recognizers, on $1-GDS. This makes it quite tricky, and there’s always some trial and error to discover which learning rate will allow each GAN to train properly. SR was significantly different from the baseline (p<0.04), and Perlin noise and ΣΛ were not significantly different from the baseline. Crowdsourcing can help alleviate this issue, although with potentially high cost. FIG. Formally, let ξ1=0 and ξ2, . The paucity of correctly labeled training data is a common problem in the field of pattern recognition [R. Navaratnam, A. W. Fitzgibbon, and R. Cipolla. Instead you select only the more informative or sensitive data points to add noise to. These problems were exacerbated with 5 participants who had smaller hands. Synthesizing queries for handwritten word image retrieval. Sigma-Lognormal Model. Yet even with its reduced complexity, improvements in recognition accuracy must remain competitive as compared to conventional state-of-the-art SDG methods discussed previously. FIG. Knowledge and information systems 7, 3 (2005), 358-386], which envelopes a time series T with an upper (U) and lower (L) band based on a window constraint r: U=(ui=maxi-r≤i≤i+rti)L=(li=mini-r≤i≤i+rti).(17). Eighth International Workshop on. But generating synthetic time-series data or sequential data is significantly harder than tabular data. Only SR was significantly different from the baseline (p<0.0001). Picture 18. 1985. Mean gesture recognition percentage error (and SD), over all template matching recognizers for one and, two training samples per gesture, from which 64, gestures are synthesized per training sample on. Wu et al. This is demonstrated on digit classification from 'serialised' MNIST and by training an early warning system on a medical dataset of 17,000 patients from an intensive care unit. Searching and mining trillions of time series subsequences under dynamic time warping. Each gesture starts with one's hand in a first and ends in the same position. In Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '14). Gestures Without Libraries, Toolkits or Training: A $1 Recognizer for User Interface Prototypes. For each experiment in this protocol, T samples are selected at random from a participant for training and the remaining 25 T samples are selected for testing, and this selection process is performed 500 times per each participant. One exception is naive Bayes, which will be discussed below. A plurality of synthetic distributions is then created, each with a different value of n, and the distribution that most closely resembles the real distribution of the sample/gesture is found. Accurate real-time windowed time warping. “Generating Synthetic Sequential Data using GANs”, Carnegie Mellon University machine learning department, Differentially Private Generative Adversarial Network or DPGAN, Privacy-Preserving Generative Adversarial Network, (source: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.02007.pdf), Similarity - how similar the curve drawn across a histogram is, Autocorrelation - the measurable comparison between real and synthetic data, Utility - the relative ratio of forecasting error when trained with real and synthetic data. 620-625] implemented weighted DTW for KINECT to recognize 8 gestures with 28 samples per gesture. 6A-6C depict accuracy results for various configurations. By applying the optimal n equation to each of the 110 gesture centroids from Table 1, it was found that the n values range from 16 to 69, and have a mean of 31 (SD=13.1). Tools for the Efficient Generation of Hand-drawn Corpora Based on Context-free Grammars. Celebi et al. 10B is a visualization of a 2D alignment found by DTW between two unistroke question marks, from the $1-GDS dataset. Synthetic … [Tamás Varga, Daniel Kilchhofer, and Horst Bunke. Table 3 provides detailed recognition error rates for the best performing recognizer for each dataset given one real training sample per gesture. Caramiaux et al. extraction, which can take several seconds. Intuitively, times series that are similar should score near one so that DTW score inflation is minimized. With the canonical gesture in hand, the optimal n that minimized the ShE percentage error was found—for each value of the n tested, 512 synthetic samples were created. However, when working with a continuous data stream where DTW evaluations are frequent and observational latencies are problematic, it can be useful to prune templates that will obviously not match a query. This doesn’t work well for time series, where serial correlation is present. Users stated that Perlin samples appeared to be human drawn because they were “bumpy”, “shaky”, and “wobbly”—all words that describe the artifacts that appear when applying the Perlin noise filter. FIG. Synthetic time-series data could be applied to allow more open, but secure sharing of information, which can lead to faster detection of cancer and identification of money-laundering patterns — without risking privacy leaks. Aspects of the present invention are described below with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems) and computer program products according to embodiments of the invention. 2011. Industries like banking and healthcare have an incredible wealth of well-organised data, but most of this data is locked behind secure silos, isolated and impossible to access — even for their own employees. 2011. The CMU team writes that when trying to make DoppelGANger differentially private, DPGAN destroys the autocorrelations. . Data generation tools (for external resources) Full list of tools. AudioGest: enabling fine-grained hand gesture detection by decoding echo signal. While SDG has proven to be useful, current techniques are unsuitable for rapid prototyping by the average developer as they are time consuming to implement, require advanced knowledge to understand and debug, or are too slow to use in real-time. Once the matrix is fully evaluated, element (n, m) is the DTW score for T and Q. For high dimensional data, I'd look for methods that can generate structures (e.g. 2007. Next, the best performing variant of the current method was compared against alternative domain-specific recognizers (DTW with quantization [Jiayang Liu, Lin Zhong, Jehan Wickramasuriya, and Venu Vasudevan. Features that are used should fit within the rapid prototyping paradigm, and the two primary features found were closedness and density. [Muriel Helmers and Horst Bunke. Further, a query sequence is denoted as Q and a template sequence as T, where a template is a time series representation of a specific gesture class. (Parkour) [Chris Ellis et al., 2013] KINECT dataset, which contains 1280 samples of 16 parkour actions, e.g. 15, 2016 by the same inventors, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. 2004. Therefore, in view of the shortcomings and problems with conventional approaches to generating synthetic time-series data, there is a need for robust, unconventional approaches that generate realistic synthetic time-series data. In an embodiment, the current invention is a method of generating a synthetic variant of a given input. Eurographics Association, Aire-la-Ville, Switzerland, Switzerland, 79-86] were considered: curvature, absolute curvature, closedness, direction changes, two density variants, and stroke count. A computer readable signal medium may include a propagated data signal with computer readable program code embodied therein, for example, in baseband or as part of a carrier wave. Recalling that −1 indicated full confidence that a sample was drawn by human, Perlin noise appeared to be the most realistic, SR and real samples were closer to uncertainty (being only 0.02 apart), whereas ΣΛ appeared to be the most unrealistic. Multivariate Time Series Example 5. SR achieved the lowest error (M=3.10, SD=3.04), which was followed by ΣΛ (M=4.33, SD=3.72) and Perlin Noise (M=4.32,S SD=3.51). The Aligned Rank Transform for Nonparametric Factorial Analyses Using Only Anova Procedures. The LBKeogh lower bound is calculated for a query as the sum of the minimum squared Euclidean distance from each point in Q to the corresponding point boundary from T (shown as thin black lines). The Effect of Sampling Rate on the Performance of Template-based Gesture Recognizers. They weighted each skeleton joint differently by optimizing a discriminant ratio. The advantages set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained. This gesture was removed from the analysis. In Proceedings of the 12th Conference of the International Graphonomics Society. The same user-dependent test protocol was used as reported previously. In this piece, we summarise the challenges of synthetic sequential data and present Armando’s extended version of the powerful DoppelGANger generator. That’s why we were excited when we read the work of Zinan Lin, Alankar Jain, Guilia Fanti and Vyas Sekar from Carnegie Mellon and Chen Wang from IBM. , ti and qi, . covariance structure, linear models, trees, etc.) 2015. To simulate this in a general way, the removal count x is introduced that, when specified, indicates how many points from the stochastic stroke q are randomly removed before generating the synthetic stroke p′. Similarly, L−1(d) is denoted as the inverse arc-length function that returns the point px at distance d along the gesture path. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 89-106], and EDS 2 [Id. 1991. This process is repeated 10 times per subject and all results are combined into a single set of distributions. This limitation implies that both negative and positive samples need to be synthesized. Upon further analysis, it was found that with Rubine, SR achieved the lowest mean error (M=11.46, SD=5.18), followed by Perlin Noise (M=13.42, SD=5.85). A Segmentation-free Approach for Keyword Search in Historical Typewritten Documents. Perlin Noise. One of the reasons is that the way they learn is very unstable. Recognition percentage accuracies for the current system and, recognizers evaluated by Ellis et al. Prior to resampling, statistical features (e.g., closedness, density) may be extracted from the time series. of a time series in order to create synthetic examples. FIG. 13A. Residuals were also confirmed to be statistically normal using a Shapiro-Wilks test (W=0.99, p=0.37). These correction factors, however, use the inverse inner product of normalized feature vectors: where 2≦i≦F per Equation 14 and each gi transforms the time series into a normalized vector whose dimensionality is greater than one (otherwise its normalization would simply result in a scalar equal to one). To create the synthetic time series, we propose to average a set of time series and to use the 2009. In Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '10). ACM, New York, N.Y., USA, 73-79], as well as in generating [Ahmad-Montaser Awal, Harold Mouchere, and Christian Viard-Gaudin. These direction vectors are concatenated together to form a negative sample. In addition, the phrase “about ‘x’ to ‘y’” includes “about ‘x’ to about ‘y’”. Synthetic samples are created by coinciding the gesture's stroke points on the noise map and moving each stroke's points along the grid's gradient direction. The length of these sequences is often variable. 's observational latency test [Id.] The DoppelGANger generator is appealing for a few reasons. [Anthony et al., 2012], EDS 1 [Vatavu et al., 2011], and EDS 2 [Vatavu et al., 2011], as well as the ShE, and BE percentage errors. In early testing, it was learned that z-score normalization on the spectrum data was harmful, perhaps because for some gestures, there is no motion through certain frequency bins, and so z-score normalizing those components only served to scale up noise. It is also useful to compare DTW with $P [Radu-Daniel Vatavu et al., 2012], a σ (n2.5) recognizer. An adequate synthetic data generator needs to allot data in such a way that the generated data: Synthetic medical data which preserves privacy while maintaining utility can be used as an alternative to real medical data, which has privacy costs and resource constraints associated with it. This method has been successfully applied to train neural networks, but, to our knowledge, not to GANs. FIG. Based on this, a measurement value that maximizes the objective function can be determined. The second feature is based on the bounding box extents of the concatenated unnormalized direction vectors in Rm space: gbb=bbmax-bbmin, bbmax=(bbmaxj=max1≤i≤n∑i=1n-1pi+1j-pij), bbmin=(bbminj=min1≤i≤n∑i=1n-1pi+1j-pij).(22). n−1), from which a synthetic stroke is generated: where p′1 =(0,0). 2013. [J. Herold and T. F. Stahovich. The wittily named DoppelGANger generator is based on GANs. It’s designed to work for more complex time-series datasets that have both fixed discrete features and ever-changing continuous features. Moreover, the authors expressed that the noise map was further smoothed via Gaussian blur prior to application, and these considerations were incorporated in this implementation. arXiv preprint arXiv:1602.01711 (2016)] conducted an extensive evaluation of 18 recently proposed state-of-the-art classifiers over 85 datasets and found that many of the approaches do not actually outperform 1-NN DTW or Rotation Forest, and they also remark that DTW is a good base to compare against new work. Success in the data economy is no longer about collecting information. . 1 depicts an example synthetic gestures from $1-GDS [Jacob O. Wobbrock et al., 2007], MMG [Lisa Anthony and Jacob O. Wobbrock, 2012], EDS 1 [Radu-Daniel Vatavu, Daniel Vogel, Géry Casiez, and Laurent Grisoni. These differences were statistically significant (F(3, 464)=8.05, p <0.0001), and a post hoc analysis using Tukey's HSD indicated that SR is significantly different from all other methods (p<0.005), although baseline, ΣΛ, and Perlin noise were not significantly different from each other. Most of the models that have attempted synthesising time-series data either can’t handle the scope and complexity of enterprise data or can only work with a specific domain knowledge that’s not transferrable from one industry or even use case to another. For this reason, optimal n was used throughout the remainder of the evaluations. Synthetic Variant: This term is used herein to refer to a computer-generated variable or data that is a modification of a given input sample, such as a gesture. 62/362,922, entitled “Synthetic Data Generation of Time Series Data”, filed Jul. Syst. To differentiate between the real population and a synthetic population, these means are referred as the real ShE (BE) and syn ShE (BE), respectively. GAN-based methods or generative adversarial network models have emerged as the frontrunner for generating and augmenting datasets, particularly with images and video. Their dataset consisted of 8 unique gestures, each repeated 5 times, collected from 20 individuals. However, in view of the art considered as a whole at the time the present invention was made, it was not obvious to those of ordinary skill in the field of this invention how the shortcomings of the prior art could be overcome. To increase the positive sample distribution, new samples are synthetically generated using gesture path stochastic resampling [Eugene M. Taranta, II, Mehran Maghoumi, Corey R. Pittman, and Joseph J. LaViola, Jr. 2016. In Document Analysis and Recognition, 2003. Where states are of different duration (widths) and varying magnitude (heights). Intell. Another alternative is to synthesize new data from that which is already available. Estimating the Perceived Difficulty of Pen Gestures. There was a significant difference between the ED and IP measures, where the IP measure gave higher accuracies. In Proceedings of the 12th Annual Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH '85). 1046-1050; Faisal Farooq, Damien Jose, and Venu Govindaraju. Perturbation models such as Perlin noise [Ken Perlin. “Eventually, the generator can generate perfect [data], and the discriminator cannot tell the difference,” says Xu. Out-of-Class Measurements: This term is used herein to refer to data that is not part of the measurements that are generated by comparing the outputted synthetic variants against the given input/sample. Again, these differences were significant (F(3, 74)=11.25, p<0.0001), and the post hoc analysis showed that all SDG methods were significantly different from the baseline (p<0.0002). 2012. Table 12 shows results for the KINECT continuous data test, and Table 13 shows results for the LEAP MOTION test. This will become clearer as this specification continues. Stochastically resample p as before, while also interpolating the stroke ID as one does with 2D coordinates. Gesture path stochastic resampling (GPSR) [Id.] How can I restrict the appliance usage for a specific time portion? Each element (i, j) in the matrix stores the minimum cumulative distance between the subsequences t1, . This dataset contains 4800 samples of 16 pen gestures collected from 10 participants. 7, 2, Article 15 (Nov. 2015), 29 pages], where each primitive is described by a lognormal equation. FIG. Experiments: Planning, Analysis, and Optimization. Privacy Policy ]:7) of the angle between the first and the last point, aspect ([Rachel Blagojevic et al., 2010]:7-2), total angle traversed ([Dean Rubine, 1991:9) as well as some convex hull related features such as length:perimeter ratio ([Rachel Blagojevic et al., 2010]:2-6), perimeter efficiency ([Id. To recreate the gesture, a writer must execute the plan with a certain level of fidelity. The average of that similarity provides a way to characterize the distribution. However, the current inventors intentionally avoided rendering every image identically by introducing four additional two-level factors. In Proceedings of the 13th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-computer Interaction—Volume Part II (INTERACT'11). In Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI '11). Four seconds was used because some gestures were performed slowly by some participants, though a shorter duration could have been used in most cases. entry is the threshold that was automatically selected. For a single iteration, given a particular dataset comprised of G gestures and for a specified recognizer, T samples are randomly selected per gesture for training without replacement. In this case, the synthetic variants can be measured against the given input (e.g., using 1-nearest neighbor classification), thus generating a synthetic in-class measurements probability distribution from the measurements (based on synthetic in-class input samples, e.g., generated by SR and direction vector normalization) and also an out-of-class measurements probability distribution from out-of-class measurements (based on non-input samples). Human movement science 25, 4 (2006), 586-607] model have been proven to be strong contenders for SDG. These results were statistically significant (F (3, 152)=10.998, p<0.0001). IEEE, 5660-5663] based on the local cost function d(ti, qj)=-log (ti, qj). Naive Bayes appears to be the only case where Perlin noise achieved a better result than SR. An objective of this user study was to evaluate the effect of three synthetic data generation methods on the perception of gesture realism. At Hazy, we decided to use a cyclical learning rate, where learning rates oscillate over time. Significant differences were found between SDG methods (F3,28=56.38, p<0.0005), smoothing sigma (F1,28=12.23, p<0.0005), and stroke count (F1,28=9.32, p<0.005). The resulting plurality of normalized direction vectors are concatenated to create a second set of n points.
