I'll try it then. I wonder there isn't a more ambitious approach for a broader AI package for PD. Honestly, one of the ugliest things I've done to work with machine learning was running an app built in Max/MSP and communicating with PD via OSC. Ah, the good old days... :)

is there anything like FTM for PD?

Probably :)

ANN is based on Neural Networks. You don't have HMM.
But I find it quite flexible.
That said, I think it is a very good library to get started with AI, but if you want to get some heavy work done, other tools might be better.

hope that helps,

Thanks, Marco. I have been using OSC communications with other software, but I'm far from satisfied. I'll try ANN, thought.

I am actually interested in working with Hidden Markov Models (and machine learning in general) and some filters for computer vision. Can I work with those using ANN?

Best,

Leandro

Hey,

I've been using the ANN library.
I'm not sure it's still updated nor mantained these days, but it does work well for my purpose.

That is, I've been using it to make my instrument (the Xth Sense [1]) detect a performer's muscle states throughout a piece by using 1 sensor only; then, labelling different states, such as still, motion, fast motion, slow motion. It's a basic implementation but useful to create a sensing timeline that changes with the performer behaviours, rather than with fixed time cues.

Surely, there is much more to AI which cannot be presently done in Pd, at the best of my knowledge, I might be wrong though.
Ben (Bogart) is our guy in this area.

What are you using Ben?

Hi all

I have been wondering... Is there any AI implementation for PD? What have you been using for it?

Best

Leandro
