Identifying Sounds as Accurately as Wake Words
August 21, 2019
At a recent meeting Sensory was credited for "inventing the wake word". I explained that Sensory certainly helped to evangelize and popularize it, but we didn't "invent" it. What we really did was substantially improve upon the state of the art so that it became useable. And it was a VERY hard challenge since we did it in an era before deep learning allowed us to further improve the performance.
Today Sensory is taking on the challenge of sound and scene identification. There are many dozens of companies working on this challenge…and it's another HUGE challenge. There are some similarities with wake words and dealing with speech but a lot of differences too! I'm writing this to provide an update on our progress, to share some of our techniques, compare a bit with wake words and speech, and to bring more clear metrics to the table to look at accuracy!
Sensory announced our initial SoundID solution at CES 2019 here.
Since then we have been working on accuracy improvements and adding gunshot identification into the mix of our sounds (CO2 and smoke alarms, glass break, baby cry, snoring, door knock/bell, scream/yell, etc.) to be identified.
Sensory is very proud of our progress in sound identification. We welcome and encourage others to share their accuracy reporting…I couldn't find much online to determine "state of the art".
Now we will begin work on scene analysis…and I expect Sensory to lead in this development as well!
Revisiting Wake Word Accuracy and Privacy
June 11, 2019
I used to blog a lot about wake words and voice triggers. Sensory pioneered this technology for voice assistants, and we evangelized the importance of not hitting buttons to speak to a voice recognizer. Then everybody caught on and the technology went into main stream use (think Alexa, OK Google, Hey Siri, etc.), and I stopped blogging about it. But I want to reopen the conversation…partly to talk about how important a GREAT wake word is to the consumer experience, and partly to congratulate my team on a recent comparison test that shows how Sensory continues to have the most accurate embedded wake word solutions.
Competitive Test Results. The comparison test was done by Vocalize.ai. Vocalize is an independent test house for voice enabled products. For a while, Sensory would contract out to them for independent testing of our latest technology updates. We have always tested in-house but found that our in-house simulations didn't always sync up with our customers' experience. Working with Vocalize allowed us to move from our in-house simulations to more real-world product testing. We liked Vocalize so much that we acquired them. So, now we "contract in" to them but keep their data and testing methodology and reporting uninfluenced by Sensory.
Vocalize compared two Sensory TrulyHandsfree wake word models (1MB size and 250KB size) with two external wake words (Amazon and Kitt.ai's Snowboy), all using "Alexa" as the trigger. The results are replicable and show that Sensory's TrulyHandsfree remains the superior solution on the market. TrulyHandsfree was better/lower on BOTH false accepting AND false rejecting. And in many cases our technology was better by a longshot! If you would like see the full report and more details on the evaluation methods, please send an email request to either Vocalize (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Sensory (firstname.lastname@example.com).
It's Not Easy. There are over 20 companies today that offer on-device wake words. Probably half of these have no experience in a commercially shipping product and they never will; there are a lot of companies that just won't be taken seriously. The other half can talk a good talk, and in the right environment they can even give a working demo. But this technology is complex, and really easy to do badly and really hard to do great. Some demos are carefully planned with the right noise in the right environment with the right person talking. Sensory has been focused on low power embedded speech for 25 years, we have 65 of the brightest minds working on the toughest challenges in embedded AI. There's a reason that companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Samsung have turned to Sensory for our TrulyHandsfree technology. Our stuff works, and they understand how difficult it is to make this kind of technology work on-device! We are happy to provide APK's so you can do you're your own testing and judge for yourself! OK, enough of the sales pitch…some interesting stuff lays ahead…
It's Really Important. Getting a wake word to work well is more important than most people realize. It's like the front door to your house. It might be a small part of your house, but if you aren't letting the homeowners in then that's horrible, and if you are letting strangers in by accident that's even worse. The name a company gives their wake word is usually the company brand name, imagine the sentiment that comes off when I say a brand name and it doesn't work. Recently I was at a tradeshow that had a Mercedes booth. There were big signs that said "Hey Mercedes"…I walked up to the demo area and I said "Hey Mercedes" but nothing happened…the woman working there informed me that they couldn't demo it on the show floor because it was really too noisy. I quickly pulled out my mobile phone and showed her that I could use dozens of wake words and command sets without an error in that same environment. Mercedes has spent over 100 years building up one of the best quality brand reputations in the car industry. I wonder what will happen to that reputation if their wake word doesn't respond in noise? Even worse is when devices accidentally go off. If you have family members that listen to music above volume 7 then you already know the shock that a false alarm causes!
It's about Privacy. Amazon, like Google and a few others seem to have pretty good wake words, but if you go into your Alexa settings you can see all of the voice data that's been collected, and a lot of it is being collected when you weren't intentionally talking to Alexa! You can see this performance issue in the Vocalize test report. Sensory substantially outperformed Amazon in the false reject area. This is when a person tries to speak to Alexa and she doesn't respond. The difference is most apparent in babble noise where Sensory falsely rejected 3% and Amazon falsely rejected 10% in comparable sized models (250KB). However the False Accept difference is nothing short of AMAZING. Amazon false accepted 13 times in 24 hours of random noise. In this same time period Sensory false accepted ZERO times (on comparably sized 250KB models). How is this possible you may be wondering? Amazon "fixes" its mistakes in the cloud. Even though the device falsely accepts quite frequently, their (larger and more sophisticated) models in the cloud collect the error. Was that a Freudian slip? They correct the error…AND they COLLECT the error. In effect, they are disregarding privacy to save device cost and collect more data.
As the voice revolution continues to grow, you can bet that privacy will continue to be a hot topic. What you now understand is that wake word quality has a direct impact on both the user experience and PRIVACY! While most developers and product engineers in the CE industry are aware of wake words and the difficulty in making them work well on-device, they don't often consider that competing wake words technologies aren't created equally – the test results from Vocalize prove it! Sensory is more accurate AND allows more privacy!
Sensory CEO On Voice-Activated Technology's Next Big Wave
January 11, 2019
Interview with Karen Webster, one of the best writers and interviewers in tech/fintech.
In 1994 the fastest imaginable connection to the internet was a 28.9 kbps dial-up modem and email was still mostly a new thing that many people were writing off as a fad. There was no such thing as Amazon.com for the first half the year and less than a third of American households owned computers. Given that, it's not much of a surprise that the number of people thinking about voice-activated, artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced wireless technology was extremely small — roughly the same as the number of people putting serious thought into flying cars.
But the team at Sensory is not quite as surprised by the rapid onset evolution of the voice-activated technology marketplace as everyone else may be — because when they were first opening their doors 25 years ago in 1994, this is exactly the world they had hoped to see developing two-and-a-half decades down the line, even if the progress has been a bit uneven.
"We still have a long way to go," Sensory CEO Todd Mozer told Karen Webster in a recent conversation. "I am excited about how good speech recognition has gotten, but natural language comprehension still needs a lot of work. And combined the inputs of all the sensors devices have — for vision and speech together to make things really smart and functional in context — we just aren't there yet."
But for all there is still be to done, and advances that still need to be made, the simple fact that the AI-backboned neural net approach to developing for interactive technology has become "more powerful than we ever imagined it would be with deep learning," is a huge accomplishment in and of itself.
And the accomplishments are rolling forward, he noted, as AI's reach and voice control of devices is expanding — and embedding — and the nascent voice ecosystem is quickly growing into its adolescent phase.
"Today these devices do great if I need the weather or a recipe. I think in the future they will be able to do far more than that — but they will be increasingly be invisible in the context of what we are otherwise doing."
Embedding The Intelligence
Webster and Mozer were talking on the eve of the launch of Sensory's VoiceGenie for Bluetooth speaker — a new product for speaker makers to add voice controls and functions like wake words, without needing any special apps or a Wi-Fi connection. Said simply, Mozer explained, what Sensor is offering for Bluetooth makers is embedded voice — instead of voice via connection to the cloud.
And the expansion into embedded AI and voice control, he noted, is necessary, particularly in the era of data breach, cyber-crime and good old-fashioned user error with voice technology due to its relative newness.
"There are a lot of sensors on our products and phones that are gathering a lot of interesting information about what we are doing and who we are," Mozer said.
Apart from being a security problem to send all of that information to the cloud, embedding in devices the ability to extract usefully and adapt on demand to a particular user is an area of great potential in improving the devices we all use multiple times daily.
This isn't about abandoning the cloud, or even a great migration away from it, he said; there's always going to be a cloud and clients for it. The cloud natively has more power, memory and capacity than anything that can be put into a device at this point on a cost-effective basis.
"But there is going to be this back-and-forth and things right now are swinging toward more embedded ability on devices," he said. "There is more momentum in that direction."
The cloud, he noted, will always be the home of things like transactions, which will have to flow through it. But things like verification and authentication, he said, might be centered in the devices' embedded capacity, as opposed to in the cloud itself.
The Power Of Intermediaries
Scanning the headlines of late in the world of voice connection and advancing AI, it is easy to see two powerful players emerging in Amazon and Google. Amazon announced Alexa's presence on 100 million devices, and Google immediately followed up with an announcement of its own that Google Assistant will soon be available on over a billion devices.
Their sheer size and scale gives those intermediaries a tremendous amount of power, as they are increasingly becoming the connectors for these services on the way to critical mass and ubiquity, Webster remarked.
Mozer agreed, and noted that this can look a little "scary" from the outside looking in, particularly given how deeply embedded Amazon and Google otherwise are with their respective mastery of eCommerce and online search.
Like many complex ecosystems, Mozer said that the "giants" — Amazon, Google and Apple to a lesser extent — are both partners and competitors, adding that Sensory's greatest value to the voice ecosystem is when something that is very customized tech and requires a high level of accuracy and customer service features is needed. Sensory's technology appears in products by Google, Alibaba, Docomo and Amazon, to name a few.
But ultimately, he noted, the marketplace is heading for more consolidation — and probably putting more power in the hands of very few selected intermediaries.
"I don't think we are going to have 10 different branded speakers. There will be some kind of cohesion — someone or maybe two someones will kick butt and dominate, with another player struggling in third place. And then a lot of players who aren't players but want to be. We've seen that in other tech, I think we will see it with voice."
As for who those winning players will be, Google and Amazon look good today, but, Mozer noted, it's still early in the race.
The Future of Connectedness
In the long term future, Mozer said, we may someday look back on all these individual smart devices as a strange sort of clutter from the past, when everyone was making conversation with different appliances. At some point, he ventured, we may just have sensors embedded in our heads that allow us to think about commands and have them go through — no voice interface necessary
"That sounds like science fiction, but I would argue it is not as far out there as you think. It won't be this decade, but it might be in the next 50 years."
But in the more immediate — and less Space Age — future, he said, the next several years will be about enhancing and refining voice technologies ability to understand and respond to human voice — and, ultimately, to anticipate the needs of human users.
There won't be a killer app for voice that sets it on the right path, according to Mozer; it will simply be a lot of capacity unlocked over time that will make voice controls the indispensable tools Sensory has spent the last 25 years hoping they would become.
"When a device is accurate in identifying who you are, and carrying out your desires seamlessly, that will be when it finds its killer function. It is not a thing that someone is going to snap their fingers and come out with," he said, "it is going to be an ongoing evolution."
Biometrics' Place in the Embedded Industry
October 25, 2018
I just returned from the four-day Money 20/20 event in Las Vegas. The show covers the overlap of Money and Technology including FinTech, Payment, Ecommerce and more. It had tens of thousands of attendees, over 3,500 companies, and 400 startups and lots of starpower including Richard Branson, Shaquille O'Neil, Akon, and yours truly speaking on a biometrics panel.
I walked the show floor to find the latest news in embedded biometrics and to better understand the choice between embedded and cloud based biometrics in the fintech/money space. I was impressed by how biometrics has moved into the mainstream conversation. Before mentioning the other companies I talked to, I'll kick off with Sensory, my company.
Sensory's focus on AI and biometrics has always been on the embedded side. We believe in data privacy and we think the best way to accomplish that is through keeping in the hands and control of the user. On a less promotional front there is also a strategic reason we focus on embedded, and that's because the industry giants are really good at cloud based and unconstrained AI tasks, and they often give it away for free, so we are focused on a place where the Googles and Amazons of the world can be our customers and not just our competitors. On the last day of Money 20/20, Sensory introduced TrulySecure 4.0, a fusion of face and voice biometrics with improved accuracy, speed, and support for 3D.
BioConnect sponsored one of the excellent lunches at the show. I spoke to Rob Douglas, Founder and CEO of BioConnect who said, "We are on the quest for rightful identity and what we offer is a market leading mobile biometric authentication solution for the enterprise. We provide a building block like a piece of LEGO that you can apply into all the infrastructure of an Enterprise to upgrade from passwords and key fobs to a world where you have higher assurance when you are conducting digital or physical transactions." BioConnect has been in business for eight years and has 1,600 customers and at Money 20/20, the Bank of Montreal announced a partnership with BioConnect and IBM.
BioConnect has a strong belief in face authentication, but also works with other biometrics including voice, eye, fingerprint, and behavioral. According to Douglas, "We believe in both cloud and client and we support the FIDO approach, but there are use cases where the transport of the biometrics through a cloud-based infrastructure can make a lot of sense."
The FIDO Alliance had a large area with alliance members touting their wares. FIDO (fast identity online) is "the World's Largest Ecosystem for Standards-Based, Interoperable Authentication." I spoke to Andrew Shikiar, the CMO of the FIDO Alliance. Local authentication with biometrics is key to the FIDO approach. "Whether you are storing passwords or biometrics, a central repository will be targeted, and will be breached to be used in nefarious ways." When I asked Shikiar about the desire to share biometrics across platforms he said, "That's typical of the type of use case that our technical working groups are working to address, while leveraging the FIDO standards"
Conor White, President Americas at Daon described Daon as "a human authentication company that provides technologies to allow customers to create and manage digital identities of their users in a way that's advantageous in a risk and security perspective." At the show they announced a partnership to expand from their base in mobile into the contact center.
Daon provides support to a wide cross section of biometrics and provides embedded solutions through the FIDO standard but can support cloud based biometrics when desired. Daon is seeing more customers getting comfortable with going from on premise to cloud based implementations but in the vast majority of cases, the biometrics still resides on the device even if the service is run in the cloud. White sits on the board of the FIDO alliance and sees the FIDO standard with embedded biometrics gaining ground.
Veritran is a software company based in Buenos Aires and developing innovative and secure digital banking platforms for the Latin American markets. They process over 4 billion banking transactions each year, and they are now expanding from Banking into other Enterprise markets and geographies beyond Latin America. At Mobile World Congress in February, they announced a new platform for secure application development, and at Money 20/20 ,they demonstrated some of the apps developed on this platform.
Like other companies, Veritran offers a mix of biometric modalities and in talking with Veritran's CEO Marcelo Gonzales, I learned a very interesting reason as to why they prefer embedded biometrics instead of processing in the cloud. The Latin American customers buy prepaid plans with limited data. To keep their costs down, they must keep their data usage down, and with the biometrics stored and processed on the device, transactions can occur with minimal data costs.
There were a lot of other companies at Mobile 20/20. As a quick summary I would say a few important things stood out. Biometrics are definitely taking off as we all understand the problems with passwords. A variety of biometric modalities are offered but there does seem to be a preference and movement toward face authentication that can run cross platform without specialized hardware. Most vendors offer a choice between having the biometric data stored and processed on the device or in the cloud, but with the FIDO Alliance behind embedded and the clear advantages for security and privacy, the embedded usage case seems to be winning out.
Sensory Demos Awesome AI Mashup at Finovate!
September 28, 2017
Finovate is one of those shows where you get up on stage and give a short intro and live demo. They are selective in who they allow to present and many applicants are rejected. Sensory demonstrated some really cutting-, perhaps bleeding-, edge stuff by combining animated talking avatars, with text-to-speech, lip movement synchronization, natural language speech recognition and face and voice biometrics. I don't know of any company ever combining so many AI technologies into a single product or demo!
Speech recognition has a long history of failing on stage, and one of the ways Sensory has always differentiated itself, is that our demos always work! And all our AI technologies worked here too! Even with bright backlighting, our TrulySecure face recognition was so fast and accurate some missed it. With the microphones and echo's in the large room, our TrulyNatural speech recognition was perfect! That said, we did have a user-error… before Jeff and I got on stage he put his demo phone in DND mode, which cut our audio output – but quickly recovered from that mishap.
Apple erred on facial recognition
September 15, 2017
On the same day that Apple rolled out the iPhone X on the coolest stage of the coolest corporate campus in the world, Sensory gave a demo of an interactive talking and listening avatar that uses a biometric ID to know who's talking to it. In Trump metrics, the event I attended had a few more attendees than Apple.
Interestingly, Sensory's face ID worked flawlessly, and Apple's failed. Sensory used a traditional camera using convolutional neural networks with deep learning anti-spoofing models. Apple used a 3D camera.
There are many theories about what happened with FaceID at Apple. Let's discuss what failure even means and the effects of 2D versus 3D cameras. There are basically three classes of failure: accuracy, spoofability, and user experience. It's important to understand the differences between them.
False biometrics
It's easy to reach one in a million or one in a billion FAs by making it FR all of the time. For example, a rock will never respond to the wrong person… it also won't respond to the right person! This is where Apple failed. They might have had amazing false accepts rates, but they hit two false rejects on stage!
I believe that there is too much emphasis placed on FA. The presumption is random users trying to break in, and 1 in 50,000 seems fine. The break-in issue typically relates to spoofability, which needs to be thought of in a different way – it's not a random face, it's a fake face of you.
Every biometric that gets introduces gets spoofed. Gummy bears, cameras, glue, and tape were all used to spoof fingerprints. Photos, masks, and videos have been used to spoof faces.
To prevent this, Sensory built anti-spoof models that weaken the probability of spoofing. 3D cameras also make it easier to reduce spoofs, and Apple moved in the right direction here. But the real solution is to layer biometrics, using additional layers when more security is needed.
Apple misfires on UX?
Apple set the FA so high on FaceID that it hurt the consumer experience by rejecting too much, which is what we saw on stage. But there's more to it in the tradeoffs.
The easiest way to prevent spoofing is to get the user to do unnatural things, live and randomly. Blinking was a less intrusive version that Google and others have tried, but a photo with the eyes cut out could spoof it.
Having people turn their face, widen their nostrils, or look in varying directions might help prevent spoofing, but also hurt the user experience. The trick is to get more intrusive only when the security needs demand it. Training the device is also part if the user experience.
I Nailed It!
August 30, 2017
A few days ago I wrote a blog that talked about assistants and wake words and I said:
"We'll start seeing products that combine multiple assistants into one product. This could create some strange and interesting bedfellows."
Interesting that this was just announced:
Here's another prediction for you…
All assistants will start knowing who is talking to them. They will hear your voice and look at your face and know who you are. They will bring you the things you want (e.g. play my favorite songs), and only allow you to conduct transaction you are qualified for (e.g. order more black licorice). Today there is some training required but in the near future they will just learn who is who much like a new born quickly learns the family members without any formal training.
How Hollywood gets biometrics wrong (and what it gets right)
June 26, 2017
Setting aside the question of whether rogue robots will create a dystopian future, there is one area that artificial intelligence (AI) in movies all seem to coalesce on: biometrics will take over for keys and passwords. There are over 200 movies that show the use of biometrics – here's a list of 184 of them, and here's a compilation of clips from several dozen movies.
Whether its fingerprint, voiceprint, iris, retina, face, or other biometrics, there always seems to be some sort of physical scanner in Hollywood depictions of biometrics in action. They have to hold their face or hand up to a device and the device often shines a laser and makes a noise. When they speak, a pass phrase like, "My voice is my password," is typically required. In other words, the biometrics aren't particularly fast or easy. The devices don't just know who people are; they need to be queried and some sort of physical analysis needs to happen after the query.
That's not how it's going to play out. In fact, it's not going to be one biometric that gets a person entrance. It will be a layering of biometrics. They won't all happen right when you want to open a door. Some will follow you around, maintaining an ongoing assessment of who you are. Other biometrics will be seamlessly assessed from cameras or other sensors in your environment, and still other biometric elements can be added by pinging your phone and asking the phone's opinion on who you are.
One thing Hollywood got right, though, is how spoof-able biometrics tend to be, whether it's by removing body parts, taking pictures or videos, or capturing a fingerprint with glue or gummy bears. In one scene in the movie The 6th Day, Adam Gibson, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is prevented from entering a restricted area when a scanner rejects his thumbprint. When a security guard approaches asking if he can help, Schwarzenegger holds the guard at gunpoint and says, "Yeah, you can stick your thumb in that." The guard complies, which gains Schwarzenegger access. Spoofing isn't necessarily easy – biometric vendors try to make it hard – but most single biometrics are spoof-able, and the movies we watch certainly convey that.
We will see more of these biometric implementations with a mixture of face, voice, and behavioral biometrics combined with hand, eye, or other scans that are seamlessly taken and associated with a given person. This approach substantially increases the difficulty in spoofing, yet it can be done in a completely un-intrusive manner without wasting time. Of course, in a movie it would look like people gain access without doing anything special, and that may take away from some of the "cool factor" in watching biometrics work.
Staying Ahead with Advanced AI on Devices
June 8, 2017
Since the beginning, Sensory has been a pioneer in advancing AI technologies for consumer electronics. Not only did Sensory implement the first commercially successful speech recognition chip, but we also were first to bring biometrics to low cost chips, and speech recognition to Bluetooth devices. Perhaps what I am most proud of though, more than a decade ago Sensory introduced its TrulyHandsfree technology and showed the world that wakeup words could really work in real devices, getting around the false accept and false reject, and power consumption issues that had plagued the industry. No longer did speech recognition devices require button presses…and it caught on quickly!
Let me go on boasting because I think Sensory has a few more claims to fame… Do you think Apple developed the first "Hey Siri" wake word? Did Google develop the first "OK Google" wake word? What about "Hey Cortana"? I believe Sensory developed these initial wake words, some as demos and some shipped in real products (like the Motorola MotoX smartphone and certain glasses). Even third-party Alexa and Cortana products today are running Sensory technology to wake up the Alexa cloud service.
Sensory's roots are in neural nets and machine learning. I know everyone does that today, but it was quite out of favor when Sensory used machine learning to create a neural net speech recognition system in the 1990's and 2000's. Today everyone and their brother is doing deep learning (yeah that's tongue in cheek because my brother is doing it too! (http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mozer/index.php). And a lot of these deep learning companies are huge multi-billion-dollar business or extremely well-funded startups.
So, can Sensory stay ahead now and continuing pioneering innovation in AI now that everyone is using machine learning and doing AI? Of course, the answer is yes!
Sensory is now doing computer vision with convolutional neural nets. We are coming out with deep learning noise models to improve speech recognition performance and accuracy, and are working on small TTS systems using deep learning approaches that help them sound lifelike. And of course, we have efforts in biometrics and natural language that also use deep learning.
We are starting to combine a lot of technologies together to show that embedded systems can be quite powerful. And because we have been around longer and thought through most of these implementations years before others, we have a nice portfolio of over 3 dozen patents covering these embedded AI implementations. Hand in hand with Sensory's improvements in AI software, companies like ARM, NVidia, Intel, Qualcomm and others are investing and improving upon neural net chips that can perform parallel processing for specialized AI functions, so the world will continue seeing better and better AI offerings on "the edge".
Curious about the kind of on-device AI we can create when combining a bunch of our technologies together? So were we! That's why we created this demo that showcases Sensory's natural language speech recognition, chatbots, text-to-speech, avatar lip-sync and animation technologies. It's our goal to integrate biometrics and computer vision into this demo in the months ahead:
Let me know what you think of that! If you are a potential customer and we sign an NDA, we would be happy to send you an APK of this demo so you can try it yourself! For more information about this exciting demo, please check out the formal announcement we made: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sensory-brings-chatbot-and-avatar-technology-to-consumer-devices-and-apps-300470592.html
What Makes the Latest Version of TrulySecure so Different?
May 17, 2017
A key measure of any biometric system is the inherent accuracy of the matching algorithm. Earlier attempts at face recognition were based on traditional computer vision (CV) techniques. The first attempts involved measuring key distances on the face and comparing those across images, from which the idea of the number of "facial features" associated with an algorithm was born. This method turned out to be very brittle however, especially as the pose angle or expression varied. The next class of algorithms involved parsing the face into a grid, and analyzing each section of the grid individually via standard CV techniques, such as frequency analysis, wavelet transforms, local binary patterns (LBP), etc. Up until recently, these constituted the state of the art in face recognition. Voice recognition has a similar history in the use of traditional signal processing techniques.
Sensory's TrulySecure uses a deep learning approach in our face and voice recognition algorithms. Deep learning (a subset of machine learning) is a modern variant of artificial neural networks, which Sensory has been using since the very beginning in 1994, and thus we have extensive experience in this area. In just the last few years, deep learning has become the primary technology for many CV applications, and especially face recognition. There have been recent announcements in the news by Google, Facebook, and others on face recognition systems they have developed that outperform humans. This is based on analyzing a data set such as Labeled Faces in the Wild, which has images captured over a very wide ranging set of conditions, especially larger angles and distances from the face. We've trained our network for the authentication case, which has a more limited range of conditions, using our large data set collected via AppLock and other methods. This allows us to perform better than those algorithms would do for this application, while also keeping our size and processing power requirements under control (the Google and Facebook deep learning implementations are run on arrays of servers).
One consequence of the deep learning approach is that we don't use a number of points on the face per se. The salient features of a face are compressed down to a set of coefficients, but they do not directly correspond to physical locations or measurements of the face. Rather these "features" are discovered by the algorithm during the training phase – the model is optimized to reduce face images to a set of coefficients that efficiently separate faces of a particular individual from faces of all others. This is a much more robust way of assessing the face than the traditional methods, and that is why we decided to utilize deep learning opposed to CV algorithms for face recognition.
Sensory has also developed a great deal of expertise in making these deep learning approaches work in limited memory or processing power environments (e.g., mobile devices). This combination creates a significant barrier for any competitor to try to switch to a deep learning paradigm. Optimizing neural networks for constrained environments has been part of Sensory's DNA since the very beginning.
One of the most critical elements to creating a successful deep learning based algorithm such as the ones used in TrulySecure is the availability of a large and realistic data set. Sensory has been amassing data from a wide array of real world conditions and devices for the past several years, which has made it possible to train and independently test the TrulySecure system to a high statistical significance, even at extremely low FARs.
It is important to understand how Sensory's TrulySecure fuses the face and voice biometrics when both are available. We implement two different combination strategies in our technology. In both cases, we compute a combined score that fuses face and voice information (when both are present). Convenience mode allows the use of either face or voice or the combined score to authenticate. TrulySecure mode requires both face and voice to match individually.
More specifically, Convenience mode checks for one of face, voice, or the combined score to pass the current security level setting. It assumes a willingness by the user to present both biometrics if necessary to achieve authentication, though in most cases, they will only need to present one. For example, when face alone does not succeed, the user would then try saying the passphrase. In this mode the system is extremely robust to environmental conditions, such as relying on voice instead of face when the lighting is very low. TrulySecure mode, on the other hand, requires that both face and voice meet a minimum match requirement, and that the combined score passes the current security level setting.
TrulySecure utilizes adaptive enrollment to improve FRR with virtually no change in FAR. Sensory's Adaptive Enrollment technology can quickly enhance a user profile from the initial single enrollment and dramatically improve the detection rate, and is able to do this seamlessly during normal use. Adaptive enrollment can produce a rapid reduction in the false rejection rate. In testing, after just 2 adaptations, we have seen almost a 40% reduction in FRR. After 6 failed authentication attempts, we see more than 60% reduction. This improvement in FRR comes with virtually no change in FAR. Additionally, adaptive enrollment alleviates the false rejects associated with users wearing sunglasses, hats, or trying to authenticate in low-light, during rapid motion, challenging angles, with changing expressions and changing facial hair.

playing pretend.
{image from here}
there is still a good amount of snow
lingering around our neighborhood,
covering up grass
and lending its chill to the air.
but i'm going to pretend that it's not there.
the sun is shining and it's springtime!
because i'm not acknowledging the snow i'm going to...
...ride my bike downtown to shop
at the yummy natural foods store
instead of hurrying to the nearby
enormous supermarket
that lacks a local, organic focus
...wear a dress with leggings, a cardigan & ballet flats
instead of jeans, boots & wool socks
...go for a run outside in the sunshine
with a curly haired puppy brimming with energy
instead of making excuses why the gym is
too far away to hit the treadmill
...explore the downtown shops
with a coffee in hand
and bask in the bright sunshine
instead of staying huddled up inside,
cursing the cold.
i'm ready for spring weather
and i'm going to act like it's here...
snow or no snow!

This is block 8 of The Splendid Sampler hosted by
Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson. I will say that this one
went nicely, I liked the block and I tried to choose
colors that would go well with each other.
The purple, green and orange are all in the yellow
fabric with hints of green too.
There are 100 blocks, 2 per week except for holidays.
I will admit I am not an expert at any of this so the
skill building is welcome.
I liked the embroidery although my poor bear must
be related to the Coneheads! I will probably trim this
out in the 30's material so it fits in with the other blocks.
I used needle turn applique here but I sure wish I
would have used templates for the flowers!
I am going to order Perfect Circles and may as well
throw in Perfect Ovals because you just know
those will be arriving on a pattern within the
coming year!
Two blocks a week doesn't sound like much,
unless you work with a one way transit time of an hour
plus trying to take care of things around the house.
I have about 4 hours between arriving home and
bed so I try to catch up on the weekends.
I have also had to split my time between this
and the bees this weekend, getting the hives
ready for the bees which will be here in April.
The tops for the hive were painted yesterday so I'll
have some photos coming up in the next day or two.

Head to Settings > Apps > settings (gear icon up top) > Special access, where you will find a new entry called VR Helper Services.
It appears as though apps will be able to self-identify as VR Helpers and request access to the API that the user must agree to. Once granted, we assume VR Helper apps will provide headset popups whilst in VR Mode, which is also referenced in the Android N source code along with references to something called a VR Listener.
As Ron Amadeo elucidates, "in the settings strings there's a permissions warning related to the VR service that states "[app name] will be able to run when you are using applications in virtual reality mode" [so] when Android kicks over into whatever this VR Mode is, the helper app will be able to pop up and do… something."
Amadeo also uncovered references to a Sustained Performance Mode, which he attributes to the kind of hardware performance required to run VR applications for long periods of time without an overheating SoC booting the user out of VR Mode (as the first Gear VR was prone to do).
Of course, all of this could still amount to nothing because developer previews frequently contain references to things that don't appear in final form. But it does lend some pretty convincing physical evidence to the circumstantial rumors pointing towards a standalone Google VR headset and the kinds of support the Project Tango smartphone will require in the coming months.
What do you think native support in Android will do for VR? Do you think smartphone-based VR will be more popular than console-based?

I was sitting in the backyard on an unseasonably warm evening burning old branches in the fire pit. We have enormous oak trees in our yard that drop thousands of acorns and the occasional big branch, on this night, pockets of sky shown through the canopy and the stars were putting on a brilliant display.
The trees in our yard are enormous, at least by Pennsylvania standards. One of our giant oak trees is regarded as "historic". The historic tree is in the front yard, right next to the road with a little plaque in front of it that states that it is a historic tree from the 1870's.
These old trees are pretty beautiful, but we sometimes worry about the possibility of one falling over and crashing into our house, our fence, or neighbor's house. These giants could do immense damage to something or someone, perhaps we should get them removed, but it would cost a small fortune.
Then I thought that the tree would find my musings very amusing.
"Who does this little guy think he is, this 38 year old boy with a bad back, is worrying about me? Worrying about me falling over and damaging his house? I have been around for 146 years, I weigh tens of thousands of pounds, I'm a gosh darn oak tree, solid. He should worry more about his self and hope he lives half as long as me, I'll be fine."

If you don't follow me on Twitter, you might not know that next year I'm heading to my dream destination – New Zealand! I'll be travelling for 4 weeks, touring around the country with Kiwi Experience. Needless to say, this is a pretty big deal for me so I'm already planning what to pack and what, if anything, I should buy out there.
Here's what I've come up with so far… Obviously there is much more to consider but I'm at the very beginning stages of my preparation so bear with me!
For the journey:
- Miniature toiletries – As I'll be having a brief stopovers in Dubai and Melbourne, I'm hoping that there will be chance to freshen up so that I'll feel slightly more human upon landing in Auckland. Also, these are hand luggage size so I'll be able to use them on the plane to try and beat the boredom of a 29 hour journey.
- Portable charger – This is an absolute must-have for me, as I will use my phone during the trip for listening to music, taking photos, keeping in touch with friends and family… The list goes on, so this will probably be my most used item on the plane and in airports where plug sockets might not be easily accessible. The PowerAdd is a convenient lipstick size so great for when my devices need some emergency charge!
When I'm there:
- Toiletries bag – I'll be staying in hostels so a toiletries bag with a hook is essential for those lovely shower areas. The below bag is super useful as it has so many compartments but it also folds up to a really compact size when empty which will obviously be useful when I'm leaving and will need to utilise every inch of space for the return journey!
- Postcards – I don't know about you but I have always loved sending and receiving postcards; I was born in 1994 so I have fond memories of the good old yesteryear of a life before smartphones, social media and instant messaging. These things, although fantastic in so many ways, have practically killed off the humble postcard. But the process of choosing, writing and sending off the perfect postcard cannot be replaced by typing a little IM, not forgetting the joy of actually receiving one (or is that just me..?). I'm definitely going to be sending some to friends and family from New Zealand, even if they might arrive after I come back! I admit, maybe the beach babe or tired landscape ones are a bit outdated now but luckily Instantprint have launched a new campaign to revive the postcard and capture the essence of the destination in a modern way. If you're heading to Paris, Egypt, Rio De Janeiro, Benidorm or India soon, check out the below designs to send a physical momento to your nearest and dearest!
- Notepad – Finally, of course I'll need a notepad to jot down my activities and keep a diary so that I can do a mammoth blog post when I return! I'm sure my 4 weeks in New Zealand will go by in a flash so I am really keen to keep a diary to ensure that no experiences are forgotten and I will have something to look back on in the following months and even years…! Also, it will be useful to note down places that I'd like to revisit on my next trip 🙂
If you can recommend any must-have items for a long haul flight and 4 week trip please let me know by commenting below or tweeting me @evierosetravels!
The above items were kindly sent to me by Instantprint, check out their website here.

Things To Help In Picking An Ideal Air Conditioning Repair Firm In York PA
Summer season is on its way, and that is the moment an individual needs to make sure that the air conditioning is operating as expected because nobody wants to have to deal with severe issues later. Consider taking time to look for an ideal air conditioning repair in York Pennsylvania, because there are many enterprises which can be quite confusing for people, mistakes that nobody wants to make. The only goal for any homeowner is to have an operational air conditioning system by Williams Service Company, so, use the following tips to find someone ideal for you.
Search For A Contractor With The Permits
An individual has to take a looking at the licenses, and ensuring that the team has been allowed to provide services in that area because there is a fine line between a contractor willing to help and one who will disappear the down payment.

Click here to learn more!
Search For Experienced Person
Experience is everything, which is one of the things that an individual should be looking for, because it is always the perfect method of solving the problems quickly since their skills have grown over the years. The team that has been providing the facilities for a long time is always proud to discuss their achievements with potential customers, so, see how they respond to your questions when it comes to know about their experience.
Look For Someone Who Is Available
Once your repair problems are fixed, it is good to maintain a strong relationship with a company that person comes across, which is why settling for people offering services on a full-time basis is essential because they can always assist in case of an emergency. The goal is to find someone that is available to deal with you anytime one has an emergency; therefore, do not take the company's word for it instead dig a little bit deeper by talking to several former clients.
Find A Company That Has A Relationship With Other Organizations
If a company has affiliations with some of the incredible organizations dealing with air conditioning in your area, it shows that these are people can be trusted.

Subject: RE: [soa-rm] Diagram
The graph cannot be interpreted without the context of the accompanying text in the RM for SOA rev 10. Accordingly, all concepts are abstract in nature. Your comments have illustrated another potential pitfall which is the lack of a formal reference for interpreting concept maps. Individuals may accordingly make inconsistent interpretations of the concept map or mind maps. Perhaps we might revisit the use of UML? Duane ******************************* Adobe Systems, Inc. - http://www.adobe.com Vice Chair - UN/CEFACT http://www.uncefact.org/ Chair - OASIS SOA Reference Model Technical Committee Personal Blog - http://technoracle.blogspot.com/ ******************************* -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 10:18 AM To: Duane Nickull; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: RE: [soa-rm] Diagram Thanks for the reply Duane. Here are my comments. 1. It is unclear from the diagram what is a realizable concept and what is completely abstract. If a service is virtual, it cannot have real associations hence my comment. Was it ever decided what a service is? As I recall it was not. 2. It is not the level of granularity that bothers me but the consolidation of static and dynamic states of existence. Mixing the two in the same diagram merely creates confusion. Wes -----Original Message----- From: Duane Nickull [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: December 7, 2005 1:02 PM To: McGregor, Wesley; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: RE: [soa-rm] Diagram Wes wrote: I would add a reference to the policy from the Service Description to indicate association. I agree services have policy, but it is the Service Description that points to the policy at design time and the services use them at run-time. DN: This is not needed since if a service has a policy, and a service description described a service, then the service description can described the service policy. It is not necessary to make lines between every concept. I would also add a transient run-time agreement (with a lifetime attribute) entity as part of the interaction within the execution context. DN: That can be described in the text. With graphics like these, we have to stick to a consistent level of granularity for all elements of the graph. The text accompanying them can describe each one on more detail. Duane

Additionally, this may ascertain the types including various lenses, larger memory cards, totes, etc., of other addons you will additionally buy The SLR that is most effective is that which meets your budget totally.
The use – you must decide everything you'll be utilizing it for. Then there isn't any requirement for the professional models, in case you just wish to be in a position to take amazing pictures as a hobby. There are lots of SLRs out there which are actually targeted at hobbyists as well as other nonprofessional photographers. The very best SLR for you may depend on your own planned use.
Resolution – Finding a camera with more megapixels could possibly have the ability to provide you clearer images and will need additional money, but remember if you WOn't even make an effort to understand the best way to work with it correctly, the greatest SLR camera is nothing.
Size – there are more versions of SLRs than before, as was previously mentioned. The nonprofessional ones tend to be prone to be lighter, as the size is smaller seeing. Getting this may be the finest SLR alternative you may make. But top producers like Canon at the moment are coming out in order to guarantee the user the user's wrists are not dangerous and that they're going to not need to handle becoming overly worn out before they so much as complete shooting.
All these are a few of the items you have to seek out when discovering the best SLR camera for you personally. Remember, there are lots of advantages to changing from point-and-shoot cameras. When purchasing the top SLR camera for you personally consider all those matters into account.

The oranizers kinly helped me secure a beatiful hostel the follwing night. I have been researching this on-line every few nights for the past couple of months, there ain't no terre verde's in prague. I have found some apartments that look cool and are not too bad. try www.pragueapartments-k.com. I had seen a hotel that had efficientcy's but lost the info. If I can find it it was ok because it had a pool ac and everyone could stay in one uge place. ac is not common in cz and is hard to find and cz can be real hot this time of year. Any other peoples looking for place's who see something neat please post so I will be able too check it out as well

The majority of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment are children and teenagers. That's because children's jaws are constantly growing to accommodate new teeth, which allows teeth to be moved easily during treatment. To find out if your child is a candidate for orthodontic treatment, it's important to visit a children's orthodontist in Las Vegas for screening.
Does My Child Need Orthodontic Treatment?
Early children's orthodontics screenings allow for any problems to be caught and treated early. While not all children will require orthodontic treatment, every child should visit a pediatric orthodontist for their first screening by age seven. This orthodontic evaluation is used to see if your child has any jaw irregularities or developmental complications that may indicate the need for treatment.
Some signs that your child may require orthodontic treatment include:
- A jaw that is disproportionate to the face
- Frequent thumb sucking
- Chronically breathing from the mouth rather than the nose
- Primary teeth that fall out too early or too late
- Malocclusion (overbite/underbite)
- Visible crowding of the teeth
What to Expect
Your child's first visit will include a visual examination as well as maxillofacial x-rays. Our children's orthodontist in Las Vegas may also ask you about your child's habits, including thumb sucking. Based on this analysis, the orthodontist will discuss potential treatment options if necessary. Those options may include:
If your child is fitted for an orthodontic appliance like braces or a retainer, there are special instructions you and your child will need to follow. The orthodontist will discuss proper care, and it's important to help your child follow these rules.
Your child will have to eliminate foods like candy and popcorn kernels from their diet in order to protect their appliance. Proper teeth brushing and flossing is necessary to prevent any decay.
Schedule Your Appointment
Your child's orthodontist will be happy to help you and your child through the process and answer any questions that you might have. To schedule a children's orthodontic screening, or to inquire about pediatric orthodontics in Las Vegas, such as braces or Invisalign, call us at (702)-832-0508 today.Schedule Your Consultation
