Identifying fluency parameters for a machine-learning-based automated interpreting assessment system

A Smartphone-Based Acquisition System for Hips Rotation Fluency Assessment

The present contribution is motivated by recent studies on the assessment of the fluency of body movements during complex motor tasks. In particular, we focus on the estimation of the Cartesian kinematic jerk (namely, the derivative of the acceleration) of the hips’ orientation during a full threedimensional movement. The kinematic jerk index is estimated on the basis of gyroscopic signals acqu...

apsis - Framework for Automated Optimization of Machine Learning Hyper Parameters

Machine learning and the algorithms used for it have become more and more complex in the past years. Especially the growth of Deep Learning architectures has resulted in a large number of hyperparameters such as the number of hidden layers or the transfer function in a neural network which have to be tuned to achieve the best possible performance. Since the result of a hyperparameter choice can...

A Machine Learning System for Automated Whole-Brain Seizure Detection

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition that affects approximately 70 million people worldwide. Characterised by sudden bursts of excess electricity in the brain, manifesting as seizures, epilepsy is still not well understood when compared with other neurological disorders. Seizures often happen unexpectedly and attempting to predict them has been a research topic for the last 30 years. El...

Sports Commentary Recommendation System (SCoReS): Machine Learning for Automated Narrative

Automated sports commentary is a form of automated narrative. Sports commentary exists to keep the viewer informed and entertained. One way to entertain the viewer is by telling brief stories relevant to the game in progress. We introduce a system called the Sports Commentary Recommendation System (SCoReS) that can automatically suggest stories for commentators to tell during games. Through sev...
