Paper: 349249 Title: KEYBOARD FINGER GESTURE RECOGNITION USING TIME DELAY NEURAL NETWORKS -------------------- review 1 -------------------- ---------------------------- REVIEW 1 -------------------------- PAPER: 10 TITLE: KEYBOARD FINGER GESTURE RECOGNITION USING TIME DELAY NEURAL NETWORKS OVERALL RATING: 2 (accept) REVIEWER'S CONFIDENCE: 2 (medium) Relevance to this conference: 4 (good) Originality/Uniqueness: 4 (good) English readability: 3 (fair) Paper organization/presentation: 3 (fair) Has good survey been done?: 4 (good) The Author(s) provide(s) both interesting and original approach to gesture recognition. Even though there are some issues that I would like to address to him/her: has he/she considered a situation of using gloves, extensive jewelry or manicure – these would disturb the first step of recognition (skin color model). I also think I would be valuable to compare the problems in hand gestures recognition and face retrival, certainly it could lead to interesting conclusions. Unfortunately Author did not provide enough numerical results that could help to estimate the rate of his/her scientific success (of course I am aware that the survey is still in progress). The paper is prepared correctly with proper information structure, although it lacks images of examples of gestures that could be recognized. Some minor grammar and syntax errors are present but generally I consider the paper valuable and recommend its acceptance.
