Explanation: <a id='intro'></a>
Introduction
The overall goal of this project is to build a word recognizer for American Sign Language video sequences, demonstrating the power of probabalistic models.  In particular, this project employs  hidden Markov models (HMM's) to analyze a series of measurements taken from videos of American Sign Language (ASL) collected for research (see the RWTH-BOSTON-104 Database).  In this video, the right-hand x and y locations are plotted as the speaker signs the sentence.

The raw data, train, and test sets are pre-defined.  You will derive a variety of feature sets (explored in Part 1), as well as implement three different model selection criterion to determine the optimal number of hidden states for each word model (explored in Part 2). Finally, in Part 3 you will implement the recognizer and compare the effects the different combinations of feature sets and model selection criteria.  
At the end of each Part, complete the submission cells with implementations, answer all questions, and pass the unit tests.  Then submit the completed notebook for review!

PART 1: Data
Features Tutorial
Load the initial database
A data handler designed for this database is provided in the student codebase as the AslDb class in the asl_data module.  This handler creates the initial pandas dataframe from the corpus of data included in the data directory as well as dictionaries suitable for extracting data in a format friendly to the hmmlearn library.  We'll use those to create models in Part 2.
To start, let's set up the initial database and select an example set of features for the training set.  At the end of Part 1, you will create additional feature sets for experimentation.

Feature selection for training the model
The objective of feature selection when training a model is to choose the most relevant variables while keeping the model as simple as possible, thus reducing training time.  We can use the raw features already provided or derive our own and add columns to the pandas dataframe asl.df for selection. As an example, in the next cell a feature named 'grnd-ry' is added. This feature is the difference between the right-hand y value and the nose y value, which serves as the "ground" right y value.

Features Implementation Submission
Implement four feature sets and answer the question that follows.
- normalized Cartesian coordinates
    - use mean and standard deviation statistics and the standard score equation to account for speakers with different heights and arm length


polar coordinates

calculate polar coordinates with Cartesian to polar equations
use the np.arctan2 function and swap the x and y axes to move the $0$ to $2\pi$ discontinuity to 12 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock;  in other words, the normal break in radians value from $0$ to $2\pi$ occurs directly to the left of the speaker's nose, which may be in the signing area and interfere with results.  By swapping the x and y axes, that discontinuity move to directly above the speaker's head, an area not generally used in signing.



delta difference

as described in Thad's lecture, use the difference in values between one frame and the next frames as features
pandas diff method and fillna method will be helpful for this one



custom features

These are your own design; combine techniques used above or come up with something else entirely. We look forward to seeing what you come up with! 
Some ideas to get you started:
normalize using a feature scaling equation
normalize the polar coordinates
adding additional deltas

PART 2: Model Selection
Model Selection Tutorial
The objective of Model Selection is to tune the number of states for each word HMM prior to testing on unseen data.  In this section you will explore three methods: 
- Log likelihood using cross-validation folds (CV)
- Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC)
- Discriminative Information Criterion (DIC) 
Train a single word
Now that we have built a training set with sequence data, we can "train" models for each word.  As a simple starting example, we train a single word using Gaussian hidden Markov models (HMM).   By using the fit method during training, the Baum-Welch Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is invoked iteratively to find the best estimate for the model for the number of hidden states specified from a group of sample seequences. For this example, we assume the correct number of hidden states is 3, but that is just a guess.  How do we know what the "best" number of states for training is?  We will need to find some model selection technique to choose the best parameter.

Explanation: Cross-validation folds
If we simply score the model with the Log Likelihood calculated from the feature sequences it has been trained on, we should expect that more complex models will have higher likelihoods. However, that doesn't tell us which would have a better likelihood score on unseen data.  The model will likely be overfit as complexity is added.  To estimate which topology model is better using only the training data, we can compare scores using cross-validation.  One technique for cross-validation is to break the training set into "folds" and rotate which fold is left out of training.  The "left out" fold scored.  This gives us a proxy method of finding the best model to use on "unseen data". In the following example, a set of word sequences is broken into three folds using the scikit-learn Kfold class object. When you implement SelectorCV, you will use this technique.

Explanation: Tip: In order to run hmmlearn training using the X,lengths tuples on the new folds, subsets must be combined based on the indices given for the folds.  A helper utility has been provided in the asl_utils module named combine_sequences for this purpose.
Scoring models with other criterion
Scoring model topologies with BIC balances fit and complexity within the training set for each word.  In the BIC equation, a penalty term penalizes complexity to avoid overfitting, so that it is not necessary to also use cross-validation in the selection process.  There are a number of references on the internet for this criterion.  These slides include a formula you may find helpful for your implementation.
The advantages of scoring model topologies with DIC over BIC are presented by Alain Biem in this reference (also found here).  DIC scores the discriminant ability of a training set for one word against competing words.  Instead of a penalty term for complexity, it provides a penalty if model liklihoods for non-matching words are too similar to model likelihoods for the correct word in the word set.

- the internal dictionary keys are the index of the test word rather than the word itself
- the getter methods are get_all_sequences, get_all_Xlengths, get_item_sequences and get_item_Xlengths

Recognizer Implementation Submission
For the final project submission, students must implement a recognizer following guidance in the my_recognizer.py module.  Experiment with the four feature sets and the three model selection methods (that's 12 possible combinations). You can add and remove cells for experimentation or run the recognizers locally in some other way during your experiments, but retain the results for your discussion.  For submission, you will provide code cells of only three interesting combinations for your discussion (see questions below). At least one of these should produce a word error rate of less than 60%, i.e. WER < 0.60 . 
Tip: The hmmlearn library may not be able to train or score all models.  Implement try/except contructs as necessary to eliminate non-viable models from consideration.

Explanation: Question 3:  Summarize the error results from three combinations of features and model selectors.  What was the "best" combination and why?  What additional information might we use to improve our WER?  For more insight on improving WER, take a look at the introduction to Part 4.
Answer 3:
After testing all combinations I noticed that using Features Polar gives better results. The Best combination I think would be Features Polar with Selector CV. Features Polar with Selector BIC could also be a good choice.
This challenge reminds me of the short story "The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Allan Poe. In this history the protagonists find a simple substitution cipher that can be solved using letter frequencies. So having this in mind I would suggest to do something similar computig the probability of some words to appear in phrase or sequence (I'm still not sure the current method used to archieve this in AI).

Recognizer Unit Tests
Run the following unit tests as a sanity check on the defined recognizer.  The test simply looks for some valid values but is not exhaustive. However, the project should not be submitted if these tests don't pass.

PART 4: (OPTIONAL)  Improve the WER with Language Models
We've squeezed just about as much as we can out of the model and still only get about 50% of the words right! Surely we can do better than that.  Probability to the rescue again in the form of statistical language models (SLM).  The basic idea is that each word has some probability of occurrence within the set, and some probability that it is adjacent to specific other words. We can use that additional information to make better choices.

SLM data for this ASL dataset

Optional challenge
The recognizer you implemented in Part 3 is equivalent to a "0-gram" SLM.  Improve the WER with the SLM data provided with the data set in the link above using "1-gram", "2-gram", and/or "3-gram" statistics. The probabilities data you've already calculated will be useful and can be turned into a pandas DataFrame if desired (see next cell).
Good luck!  Share your results with the class!
