US Patent 11526689 Few-shot learning of repetitive human tasks

Few-shot learning of repetitive human tasks is performed. Sliding window-based temporal segmentation is performed of sensor data for a plurality of cycles of a repetitive task. Motion alignment is performed of the plurality of cycles, the motion alignment mapping portions of the plurality of cycles to corresponding portions of other of the plurality of cycles. Categories are constructed for each of the corresponding portions of the plurality of cycles according to the motion alignment. Meta-training is performed to teach a model according to data sampled from a labeled set of human motions and the categories for each of the corresponding portions, the model utilizing a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) network to account for length variation between the plurality of cycles. The model is used to perform temporal segmentation on a data stream of sensor data in real time for predicting motion windows within the data stream.
