Machine Learning

From state-of-the-art visualization algorithms, we distill six working principles which are, by hypothesis, sufficient to produce visual projections qualitatively similar to those obtained with these state-of-the-art algorithms. These working principles are presented through the geometrical reasoning of the classical Multidimensional Scaling algorithm, and their effectiveness is illustrated through a novel straightforward algorithm for image visualization.

The dataset is composed of digital signals obtained from a capacitive sensor electrodes that are immersed in water or in oil. Each signal, stored in one row, is composed of 10 consecutive intensity values and a label in the last column. The label is +1 for a water-immersed sensor electrode and -1 for an oil-immersed sensor electrode. This dataset should be used to train a classifier to infer the type of material in which an electrode is immersed in (water or oil), given a sample signal composed of 10 consecutive values.

Annotated image dataset of household objects from the RoboFEI@Home team

This data set contains two sets of pictures of household objects, created by the RoboFEI@Home team to develop object detection systems for a domestic robot.

The first data set was created with objects from a local supermarket. Product brands are typical from Brazil. The second data set is composed of objects from the RoboCup@Home 2018 OPL competition.

Most text-simplification systems require an indicator of the complexity of the words. The prevalent approaches to word difficulty prediction are based on manual feature engineering. Using deep learning based models are largely left unexplored due to their comparatively poor performance. We have explored the use of one of such in predicting the difficulty of words. We have treated the problem as a binary classification problem. We have trained traditional machine learning models and evaluated their performance on the task.
