Abstract
Memory facilitation using directed acyclic graphs is described, for example, where a plurality of directed acyclic graphs are trained for gesture recognition from human skeletal data, or to estimate human body joint positions from depth images for gesture detection. In various examples directed acyclic graphs are grown during training using a training objective which takes into account both connection patterns between nodes and split function parameter values. For example, a layer of child nodes is grown and connected to a parent layer of nodes using an initialization strategy. In examples, various local search processes are used to find good combinations of connection patterns and split function parameters.
