The Wekinator is a standalone software that uses machine learning to solve the following problem: given input X, I want to get output Y. Where X can be any input that can be expressed as a series of floats and the output can either be:
- Discrete categories, like "Pose 1", "Pose 2", ...
- Continuous numeric outputs referring to positions between discrete outputs
- Recognition of gestures over time (like drawing a circle with your mouse)
Besides sending input data and receiving outputs data from The Wekinator, this plugin also allows you to easily control the software from your patch : you can trigger the recording of new examples, train your dataset and run with simple nodes.
You must install the Wekinator software in order to use this nuget. You'll find it here.
Go to VL's command line and type
nuget install VL.Wekinator -pre
For more information on how to use nugets with VL, see Managing Nugets in the VL documentation.
Make sure you check the help browser! Besides the traditional introduction help patch, it contains three tutorials that teaches you how to :
- Control a small synthesizer
- Recognize hand poses with your webcam
- Recognize custom hand gestures with a Leap Motion
