Estimation of IMU and MARG orientation using a gradient descent algorithm

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel orientation algorithm designed to support a computationally efficient, wearable inertial human motion tracking system for rehabilitation applications, applicable to inertial measurement units (IMUs) consisting of tri-axis gyroscopes and accelerometers, and magnetic angular rate and gravity sensor arrays that also include tri- axis magnetometers.

Generalizing from a Few Examples: A Survey on Few-shot Learning

TL;DR: A thorough survey to fully understand Few-shot Learning (FSL), and categorizes FSL methods from three perspectives: data, which uses prior knowledge to augment the supervised experience; model, which used to reduce the size of the hypothesis space; and algorithm, which using prior knowledgeto alter the search for the best hypothesis in the given hypothesis space.
