Astonishing living room light display, powered by machine learning, leaves hockey celebration fans in awe
Francois Maillet, a computer scientist and head of machine learning at an artificial intelligence company, has created an automated light and music show in his living room that celebrates every goal scored by his beloved Montreal Canadiens. The celebration sequence involves WiFi-enabled LED light bulbs and the Canadiens' goal song. When the Montreal Canadiens score a goal, Maillet's machine-learning model automatically triggers the lights and music in his living room, allowing spectators to dance and do celebratory chest-bumps without having to push a button. Maillet used machine learning to create a computer model that could predict when a goal occurs based on the live audio feed of the game. He trained the machine-learning model using audio from the highlights posted on the Canadiens' website. Maillet created a heat map over the time and audio frequencies that occurred when goals were scored, particularly noting the patterns of the goal horn and commentator's yell. Originally, Maillet planned to trigger the sequence using a USB-connected button, but he decided to make it automatic. The machine-learning model is now triggered to start the light show in Maillet's living room when it detects a goal in the live audio feed of the game. Maillet wrote about the project on his blog, providing a full breakdown for those who wish to replicate the epic celebration. The system integrates Philips Hue smart lights, music playback devices, and real-time game data using custom software to synchronise lighting and sound effects in his living room. Machine learning is a technology that processes the data regularities of past events to accurately predict when something occurs again. In this case, the machine-learning model has been trained to recognise the unique patterns of a goal being scored in a hockey game, making it possible for Maillet to celebrate his team's victories in a truly unique way. With this innovative project, Maillet has not only created a fun and engaging way to celebrate his team's success but has also showcased the potential of machine learning to improve our everyday lives.
