Introductory gestures before songbird vocal displays are shaped by learning and biological predispositions

<p>Numerous animal displays begin with introductory gestures. For example, lizards start their head-bobbing displays with introductory push-ups and many songbirds begin their vocal displays by repeating introductory notes (INs) before producing their learned song. Among songbirds, the acoustic structure and the number of INs produced before song vary considerably between individuals in a species. While similar variation in songs between individuals is a result of learning, whether variation in INs are also due to learning remains poorly understood. Here, using natural and experimental tutoring with male zebra finches, we show that mean IN number and IN acoustic structure are learned from a tutor. Interestingly, IN properties and how well INs were learned, was not correlated with the accuracy of song imitation and only weakly correlated with some features of songs that followed. Finally, birds artificially tutored with songs lacking INs still repeated vocalizations that resembled INs, before their songs, suggesting biological predispositions in IN production. These results demonstrate that INs, just like song elements, are shaped both by learning and biological predispositions. More generally, our results suggest mechanisms for generating variation in introductory gestures between individuals while still maintaining the species-specific structure of complex displays like birdsong.</p>

Dataset for Evaluating Pedalling Techniques Recognition Using Gesture Data

<p>With the help of a dedicated measurement system (see reference for the details of the system),&nbsp;the pedalling gestures and the piano sound can be synchronously recorded at an audio sampling rate and a high resolution.&nbsp;The measurement system was deployed on the sustain pedal of a Yamaha baby grand piano situated in the studios at Queen Mary University of London. Ten well known passages of Chopin&#39;s piano music were selected to form this dataset. Therefore the dataset consists of:</p> <p>- <strong>audio-data.zip</strong>:&nbsp;piano sound of the ten passages&nbsp;recorded at 44.1kHz, each&nbsp;saved as &quot;<strong>PASSAGE.wav</strong>&quot;.</p> <p>- <strong>pedal-data.zip</strong>: associated gesture data recorded at 22.05kHz, each saved as &quot;<strong>PASSAGE.npy</strong>&quot;. The gesture data correspond&nbsp;to the movement trajectory of the sustain pedal.</p> <p>- <strong>pedal-label.zip</strong>: label the &quot;continuous&quot; gesture data by &quot;discrete&quot; pedalling techniques at every 0.02 second.&nbsp;Label 0-4 represents none, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full pedalling technique, respectively.&nbsp;Labels for gesture data&nbsp;&quot;<strong>PASSAGE.npy</strong>&quot; are saved in &quot;<strong>PASSAGE-label.npy</strong>&quot;.</p> <p>- <strong>passage.zip</strong>: music scores of the ten passages, each saved as &quot;<strong>PASSAGE.pdf</strong>&quot;. They were annotated with pedalling techniques by the experimenter in advance and then performed by a pianist, who was asked to follow the annotated scores. The resulting audio recording and gesture data formed the above &quot;<strong>PASSAGE.wav</strong>&quot; and&nbsp;the &quot;<strong>PASSAGE.npy</strong>&quot;. The annotated score guided the labelling process and formed the &quot;<strong>PASSAGE-label.npy</strong>&quot;.</p>

Gesture Recognition with mmWave Wi-Fi Access Points: Lessons Learned~Dataset

<p>This refers to dataset of the paper&nbsp;Gesture Recognition with mmWave Wi-Fi Access Points: Lessons Learned to appear in IEEE WoWMoM 2023. Those files labeled&nbsp;with "beamsnr"&nbsp;correspond to 60 GHz while others with "data_processed"&nbsp;correspond to CSI at 5GHz. "ENV1" and "ENV2" represent two environments. "orient90" means user performs gestures 90 degree with respect to LoS.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Abstract:</p> <p>In recent years, channel state information (CSI) at sub-6 GHz has been widely exploited for Wi-Fi sensing, particularly for activity and gesture recognition. In this work, we instead explore mmWave (60 GHz) Wi-Fi signals for gesture recognition/pose estimation. Our focus is on the mmWave WiFi signals so that they can be used not only for high data rate communication but also for improved sensing e.g., for extended reality (XR) applications. For this reason, we extract spatial beam signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) from the periodic beam training employed by IEEE 802.11ad devices. We consider a set of 10 gestures/poses motivated by XR applications. We conduct experiments in two environments and with three people. As a comparison, we also collect CSI from IEEE 802.11ac devices. To extract features from the CSI and the beam SNR, we leverage a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN classifier achieves promising results on the beam SNR task with stateof-the-art 96.7% accuracy in a single environment, even with a limited dataset. We also investigate the robustness of the beam SNR against CSI across different environments. Our experiments reveal that features from the CSI generalize without additional re-training, while those from beam SNRs do not. Therefore, retraining is required in the latter case.</p>

Finger gesture recognition with smart skin technology and deep learning

<p class="p1">Finger gesture recognition was extensively studied in recent years for a wide range of human-machine interface applications. Surface electromyography (sEMG), in particular, is an attractive, enabling technique in the realm of finger gesture recognition, and both low and high-density sEMG were previously studied. Despite the clear potential, cumbersome electrode wiring and electronic instrumentation render contemporary sEMG-based finger gestures recognition to be performed under unnatural conditions. Recent developments in smart skin technology provide an opportunity to collect sEMG data in more natural conditions. Here we report on a novel approach based on a soft 16-electrode array, a miniature and wireless data acquisition unit and neural network analysis, in order to achieve gesture recognition under natural conditions. Finger gesture recognition accuracy values, as high as 93.1%, were achieved for 8 gestures when the training and test data were from the same session. For the first time, high accuracy values are also reported for training and test data from different sessions for three different hand positions. These results demonstrate an important step towards sEMG-based gesture recognition in non-laboratory settings, such as in gaming or Metaverse.</p>

Virtual Reality Gesture Recognition Dataset

<p>This dataset provides valuable insights into hand gestures and their associated measurements. Hand gestures play a significant role in human communication, and understanding their patterns and characteristics can be enabled various applications, such as gesture recognition systems, sign language interpretation, and human-computer interaction. This dataset was carefully collected by a specialist who captured snapshots of individuals making different hand gestures and measured specific distances between the fingers and the palm. The dataset offers a comprehensive view of these measurements, allowing for further analysis and exploration of the relationships between different gestures and their corresponding hand measurements.</p> <p>The dataset&#39;s potential applications are wide-ranging. For instance, it can be used to develop gesture recognition systems that can identify and interpret hand movements accurately. By training machine learning models on this dataset, it is possible to create algorithms capable of recognizing specific hand gestures based on the measured distances. This can enable intuitive human-machine interaction and interfacing, particularly in domains such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and smart devices. Moreover, researchers interested in the biomechanics of hand movements or exploring the cultural significance of specific gestures can leverage this dataset to gain insights into the physical aspects of hand gestures and their variations across different individuals.</p>

Intentional gestural communication in Hanuman langur

<p>Contrary to previous beliefs, intentional gestural communication (IGC) is not exclusive to the hominoid lineage but is also present in other non-human primates. Here, we report the presence of IGC among free-ranging Hanuman langur troop in Dakshineswar, West Bengal, India. These langurs exhibit a food-requesting behaviour wherein they use several gestures to communicate with the humans nearby. Moreover, they can also assess the recipient's mental state and persistently check if the signal (food request) has been received, waiting until they receive the desired food item. We have identified eight begging gestures used by langurs of all ages, except infants. The most common gesture is by holding cloth (BGc), but provocation-initiated begging (BGpi) and begging by embracing legs (BGe) efficiently direct these events to its success. The frequency of successful begging events is higher in the evening due to increased human interactions. Our findings suggest that ontogenetic ritualization might be at play here among these troop members as this gestural communication has been learned through imitation and reinforced by the reward of receiving food. Moreover, these successful begging events serve as an effective foraging strategy for urban-adapted langurs, allowing them to acquire high-calorie processed food items within a human-modified urban ecosystem. </p>
