Reinforcement learning for mobile robots

Reinforcement learning for mobile robots

Deep Reinforcement Learning have proven robustness in many areas such as robotics, games. In Deep Reinforcement Learning, neural networks have strong ability to deal with high dimensional data, a good mean to learn features and functional approximation while reinforcement learning can make a system learn itself for a new goal and in a new environment.
From success of deep reinforcement learning, we are motivated to investigate methods that enable unmanned vehicle remember environment, identify location of target objects and navigate themselves to the target.
In the presentation, we briefly review notion of reinforcement learning and how deep learning enhance the success of reinforcement learning recent years. Some related research and toolboxes also will be introduced. Lastly, we will discuss challenges and some achievement in our research project.

Applied AI for predicting the quality of irrigation services in the Red river delta

Applied AI for predicting the quality of irrigation services in the Red river delta

To predict the satisfaction of users who use the water services is very important for the fee exemption policy to water and agriculture services. This policy has positive impacts on the water exploited and management enterprises, the national budget and social security. In this talk, some machine learning models are presented to predict the satisfaction of users related to the quality of irrigation service in the red river delta. Experimental results showed that the non-linear machine learning models achieve lower regression errors than linear models, these linear models are commonly used by irrigation experts. The diversity and feasibility of these machine learning models can be applied for dealing with economic problems in the domain of water resource management.

Analyzing Daily Activity Logs for Smart Interaction

Analyzing Daily Activity Logs for Smart Interaction

Collecting and analyzing daily activity logs can provide potential insights for better understanding and possible optimization for individual and organizational activities and operations. There are multiple sources to gather information in various formats during daily activities. People usually post photos, video clips, or messages to their social channels everyday. People may record their daily activities with wearable cameras or other types of sensors. Millions of surveillance cameras capture various events in traffic systems, offices, or supermarkets. It is an increasing demand to process and analyze such information, mostly in visual format, to develop useful services and utilities for smart environments.
In this talk, we present several modalities to analyze and interact with daily activity logs to develop potential applications for smart environments. Our proposed systems are based on practical social needs and aim to provide people natural experience with smart services and utilities.
– People can access to augmented data and services for tourism or shopping by recognizing the current context and retrieving similar known cases.
– Lost items can be found or memories can be retrieved or verified by searching daily logs.
– Reminiscence can help people to positively revive past memories and connections with their relatives.
– Regular events and anomalies can be detected from surveillance systems for appropriate actions.
– Event simulation in virtual or mixed reality environments can be generated from real life data for education and training.
We also discuss about privacy and security issues in collecting and analyzing daily activity logs.
