ForneyLab: a Julia Toolbox for Factor Graph-Based Probabilistic Programming

ForneyLab is a novel Julia package that allows the user to specify a probabilistic model as an FFG and pose inference problems on this FFG. ForneyLab is especially potent when applied to time-series data, where it attains comparable performance to Stan and Edward in significantly less computation time.

Bayesian Pure-tone Audiometry

We develop a fully probabilistic approach to pure-tone audiometry. By assuming a Gaussian process based response model for test tones, the hearing threshold estimation problem becomes one of Bayesian inference. This allows the use of information-theoretic criteria to select optimal test tones.

A Probabilistic Modeling Approach to In-situ Trainable Gesture Recognition

Gesture recognition enables a natural extension of the way we currently interact with devices. Commercially available gesture recognition systems are usually pre-trained. We propose a method that allows users to define their own gestures using only a few training examples.
