Hand gesture recognition that has proven a significant factor to directly influence the nonverbal communication between human and computer is becoming a challenging topic in the field of machine vision. This paper aims to propose a novel hand gesture recognition system which applies sparse representation to the Kinect to improve the efficiency of Kinect-based human-computer interaction. Auto-encoder neural network computation is also utilized to achieve better result. The sparse auto-encoder neural network is versatile and robust in complex features learning and computational efficient. Finally, results indicate that our algorithm greatly facilitates the gesture recognition rate up to 95%.
Long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) provides substantial benefits for numerous real-world applications, whereas places essential demands on the model capacity to capture long-range dependencies. Recent Transformer-based models have significantly improved LTSF performance. It is worth noting that Transformer with the self-attention mechanism was originally proposed to model language sequences whose tokens (i.e., words) are discrete and highly semantic. However, unlike language sequences, most time series are sequential and continuous numeric points. Time steps with temporal redundancy are weakly semantic, and only leveraging time-domain tokens is hard to depict the overall properties of time series (e.g., the overall trend and periodic variations). To address these problems, we propose a novel Transformer-based forecasting model named InParformer with an Interactive Parallel Attention (InPar Attention) mechanism. The InPar Attention is proposed to learn long-range dependencies comprehensively in both frequency and time domains. To improve its learning capacity and efficiency, we further design several mechanisms, including query selection, key-value pair compression, and recombination. Moreover, InParformer is constructed with evolutionary seasonal-trend decomposition modules to enhance intricate temporal pattern extraction. Extensive experiments on six real-world benchmarks show that InParformer outperforms the state-of-the-art forecasting Transformers.
