Description
1. Given the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for the [m] phoneme on slide 40 of the Natural
Language lecture notes, compute the probability of each possible path through the HMM for
the sequence of frame features C1,C2,C4,C4,C6. Show your work.
2. Take a picture, or choose one from your own library (not one downloaded from the internet),
and enter it into Google’s image understanding API at https://cloud.google.com/vision. Try to
use a picture with multiple objects and avoid single-person portraits. Show a screen capture of
the “Objects” result and identify at least one object it identified in your image and at least one
object it did not identify. For example, below is the Google Vision results for an image of two
dogs (no, you can’t use this image). It correctly identified the two dogs, but did not include the
grass, leaves, trees, fence, or bench .

3. Enter your same picture from problem 2 into the MIT Places Demo at
http://places2.csail.mit.edu/demo.html. Show a screen capture of the result. Comment on
whether or not the Scene Categories are correct. For example, below is the result for my
picture. No, this is not a “cemetery”, but “botanical garden” is close.
4. Recall the “deepfake” video shown at the end of the Vision
lecture on December 3rd
. Describe an ethical issue
concerning the use of this technology and describe an
example of this unethical use.
There is no CptS 540 only problem for this homework.
