Abstract: Logic may determine a specific performance of a neural network based on an event and may present the specific performance to provide a user with an explanation of the inference by a machine learning model such as a neural network. Logic may determine a first activation profile associated with the event, the first activation profile based on activation of nodes in one or more layers of the neural network during inference to generate an output. Logic may correlate the first activation profile against a second activation profile associated with a first training sample of training data. Logic may determine that the first training sample is associated with the event based on the correlation. Logic may output an indicator to identify the first training sample as being associated with the event.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein provide determination of an orientation of a feature towards a reference target. As a non-limiting example, a system consistent with the present disclosure may include a processor, a memory, and a single camera affixed to the ceiling of a room occupied by a person. The system may analyze images from the camera to identify any objects in the room and their locations. Once the system has identified an object and its location, the system may prompt the person to look directly at the object. The camera may then record an image of the user looking at the object. The processor may analyze the image to determine the location of the user's head and, combined with the known location of the object and the known location of the camera, determine the direction that the user is facing. This direction may be treated as a reference value, or “ground truth.” The captured image may be associated with the direction, and the combination may be used as training input into an application.
