Gesture Recognition with mmWave Wi-Fi Access Points: Lessons Learned~Dataset
<p>This refers to dataset of the paper Gesture Recognition with mmWave Wi-Fi Access Points: Lessons Learned to appear in IEEE WoWMoM 2023. Those files labeled with "beamsnr" correspond to 60 GHz while others with "data_processed" correspond to CSI at 5GHz. "ENV1" and "ENV2" represent two environments. "orient90" means user performs gestures 90 degree with respect to LoS.</p> <p> </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>
ESTER-Pt: An Evaluation Suite for TExt Recognition in Portuguese
<p><em><strong>disclaimer</strong></em>: Version accepted as full paper in ICDAR 2023.</p> <p>Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that enables machines to read and interpret printed or handwritten texts from scanned images or photographs. However, the accuracy of OCR systems can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the input image, the font used, and the language of the document. As a general tendency, OCR algorithms perform better in resource-rich languages as they have more annotated data to train the recognition process. We propose ESTER-Pt, an Evaluation Suite for TExt Recognition in Portuguese in this work. Despite being one of the largest languages in terms of speakers, OCR in Portuguese remains largely unexplored. Our evaluation suite comprises four types of resources: synthetic text-based documents, synthetic image-based documents, real scanned documents, and a hybrid set with real image-based documents that were synthetically degraded.</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'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>
Patterns of genetic variation and morphology support the recognition of five species in the Gaultheria leucocarpa Blume (Ericaceae) group from mainland China
<p><em>Gaultheria</em> <em>leucocarpa</em> and its varieties form a clade of aromatic shrubs that is widely distributed in subtropical and East Asian tropical regions. The group is taxonomically difficult and is in need of thorough taxonomic investigation. This study focused on taxonomic delimitation within the <em>G. leucocarpa </em>group from mainland China. Field surveys covering the distributional range of <em>G. leucocarpa</em> in mainland China were conducted, wherein four populations from Yunnan and one from Hunan were found bearing visibly morphological and habitat differences. A 63-species phylogenetic tree of <em>Gaultheria</em> based on one nuclear and three chloroplast markers that included samples from the <em>G. leucocarpa</em> group was reconstructed with maximum likelihood to clarify the monophyly of the <em>G. leucocarpa</em> group. Taxonomic relationships among populations of the <em>G. leucocarpa</em> group were investigated with morphology and population genetics, the latter by using two chloroplast genes and two low-copy nuclear genes. Based on the sum of morphological and genetic analyses, we described three species of <em>Gaultheria</em> as new to science, clarified the taxonomic status of <em>G. leucocarpa</em> var. <em>pingbienensis</em>, elevating it to the species level, and resurrected <em>G</em>. <em>crenulata</em> and treated the varieties <em>G. leucocarpa </em>var<em>. crenulata</em>, and <em>G. leucocarpa </em>var<em>. yunnanensis</em> as synonyms of this species. We provide a key to the five species now recognized, along with descriptions and photographs.</p>

The EmoHI Test recordings are particularly suitable for testing hearing-impaired populations due to their high sound quality. All recordings, including the ones that were used in Nagels <em>et al.</em> (2020, <em>PeerJ</em>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.8773">doi: 10.7717/peerj.8773</a>), are made available here.</p> <p>The stimuli were recorded in an anechoic room at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. The microphone was placed at a distance of approximately 30 cm (12 in) from the speaker. The recordings were made by connecting a standing Røde NT1 microphone to a Presonus TubePre V2 preamplifier and a TASCAM DR-100 portable digital recorder. The gain of the recordings was adjusted for each emotion production using the preamplifier to record the stimuli at an intensity level that was approximately the same across emotions to reduce large intensity differences between the recordings of different emotions.

Recognition of sounds by ensembles of proteinoids
<p>Proteinoids are artificial polymers that imitate certain characteristics of natural proteins, including self-organization, catalytic activity, and responsiveness to external stimuli. This paper investigates the potential of proteinoids as organic audio signal processors. We convert sounds of the English alphabet into waveforms of electrical potential, feed the waveforms into proteinoid solutions and record electrical responses of the proteinoids. We also undertake a detailed comparison of proteinoids' electrical responses (frequencies, periods, and amplitudes) with original input signals. We found that responses of proteinoids are less regular and have lower dominant frequency, wider distribution of proteinoids and less skewed distribution of amplitudes compared with input signals. We found that letters of the English alphabet uniquely map onto a pattern of electrical activity of a proteinoid ensemble, that is the proteinoid ensembles recognise spoken letters of the English alphabet. The finding will be used in further designs of organic electronic devices, based on ensembles of proteinoids, for sound processing and speech recognition.</p>

Takeout gene expression is associated with temporal kin recognition
<p>A key component of parental care is avoiding killing and eating your own offspring. Many organisms commit infanticide of young but switch to parental care at the time when their own offspring would be expected, known as temporal kin recognition. It is unclear why such indirect kin recognition is so common across taxa. One possibility is that conserved mechanisms that regulate timing and feeding in other contexts are co-opted to enable the evolution of temporal kin recognition. Here we determine whether <em>takeout</em>, a gene implicated in coordinating feeding, influences temporal kin recognition in the subsocial beetle the roundneck sexton beetle, <em>Nicrophorus</em> <em>orbicollis</em>. We find that <em>takeout</em> expression is not associated with non-parental feeding changes resulting from hunger, or in the general switch to the full parental care repertoire. However, beetles that accepted and provided care to their offspring had a higher <em>takeout</em> expression than beetles that committed infanticide. Together, these data support the idea that the evolution of temporal kin recognition may be enabled by co-option of mechanisms that integrate feeding behaviour in other contexts.</p>
