code · Problem definition
project = load_project("multimodal-sensor-fusion")
project.problem()Output
ProblemRecognize gestures from IMU and time-of-flight sequences whose scales, noise, and physical meaning differ.
ApproachEngineer gravity-free motion features and time-warped sequences, process each sensor in a dedicated branch, then fuse them with recurrent layers and attention.
OutcomeDelivered a documented multimodal gesture-recognition pipeline; the project record does not claim a headline score.
