RAMario: Experimental Approach to Reptile Algorithm -- Reinforcement Learning for Mario

This research paper presents an experimental approach to using the Reptile algorithm for reinforcement learning to train a neural network to play Super Mario Bros. We implement the Reptile algorithm using the Super Mario Bros Gym library and TensorFlow in Python, creating a neural network model with a single convolutional layer, a flatten layer, and a dense layer. We define the optimizer and use the Reptile class to create an instance of the Reptile meta-learning algorithm. We train the model using multiple tasks and episodes, choosing actions using the current weights of the neural network model, taking those actions in the environment, and updating the model weights using the Reptile algorithm. We evaluate the performance of the algorithm by printing the total reward for each episode. In addition, we compare the performance of the Reptile algorithm approach to two other popular reinforcement learning algorithms, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Deep Q-Network (DQN), applied to the same Super Mario Bros task. Our results demonstrate that the Reptile algorithm provides a promising approach to few-shot learning in video game AI, with comparable or even better performance than the other two algorithms, particularly in terms of moves vs distance that agent performs for 1M episodes of training. The results shows that best total distance for world 1-2 in the game environment were ~1732 (PPO), ~1840 (DQN) and ~2300 (RAMario). Full code is available at https://github.com/s4nyam/RAMario.

ADDSL: Hand Gesture Detection and Sign Language Recognition on Annotated Danish Sign Language

For a long time, detecting hand gestures and recognizing them as letters or numbers has been a challenging task. This creates communication barriers for individuals with disabilities. This paper introduces a new dataset, the Annotated Dataset for Danish Sign Language (ADDSL). Annota-tions for the dataset were made using the open-source tool LabelImg in the YOLO format. Using this dataset, a one-stage ob-ject detector model (YOLOv5) was trained with the CSP-DarkNet53 backbone and YOLOv3 head to recognize letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9) using only seven unique images per class (without augmen-tation). Five models were trained with 350 epochs, resulting in an average inference time of 9.02ms per image and a best accu-racy of 92% when compared to previous research. Our results show that modified model is efficient and more accurate than existing work in the same field. The code repository for our model is available at the GitHub repository https://github.com/s4nyam/pvt-addsl.

CQural: A Novel CNN based Hybrid Architecture for Quantum Continual Machine Learning

Training machine learning models in an incremental fashion is not only important but also an efficient way to achieve artificial general intelligence. The ability that humans possess of continuous or lifelong learning helps them to not forget previously learned tasks. However, current neural network models are prone to catastrophic forgetting when it comes to continual learning. Many researchers have come up with several techniques in order to reduce the effect of forgetting from neural networks, however, all techniques are studied classically with a very less focus on changing the machine learning model architecture. In this research paper, we show that it is not only possible to circumvent catastrophic forgetting in continual learning with novel hybrid classical-quantum neural networks, but also explains what features are most important to learn for classification. In addition, we also claim that if the model is trained with these explanations, it tends to give better performance and learn specific features that are far from the decision boundary. Finally, we present the experimental results to show comparisons between classical and classical-quantum hybrid architectures on benchmark MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. After successful runs of learning procedure, we found hybrid neural network outperforms classical one in terms of remembering the right evidences of the class-specific features.

Four Factor Authentication with emerging cybersecurity for Mobile Transactions

Cybersecurity is very essential for Mobile Transactions to complete seamlessly. Mobile Commerce (Mcom.) is the very basic transaction type, which is very commonly used (2 in 5 people uses mobile as transaction medium), To secure this there are various technologies used by this research. The four factors formally known as Multi-Factor-Authentication are: two of them are Traditional methods (User Login-password and One Time Password (aka OTP)) with addition of Geolocation and Facial Recognition. All the data is converted to a text file, which is hidden in an image (using Babushka algorithm). The end-point then decrypts the image using same algorithm.
