Now that our group is nearing the end of our project, we can begin to mess around with different architectures that may help in categorizing different gestures. I have been researching residual networks, which may help with the disheartening gradients issue. I do not know how it will interactive with a 3D CNN/LSTM combination but we shall see.
I have gotten more and more frustrated with attempting to get a new GPU for training neural nets. Currently the market for GPUs is barren as there are tariffs on imports and crypto currency is exploding again. Many people are attempting to enter into this market and are now buying up the brand new GPUs. Along with this, scalpers have taken advantage of the limited supply and are charging exhobinant amounts (3-4x MSRP). I even asked my mentor if they had an in on GPU’s and apparently Intel is having trouble acquiring them also.
