Closing the Gap on Addiction Recovery Engagement with an AI-infused Convolutional Neural Network Technology Application—A Design Vision

Abstract

Currently, real-time detection networks elaborate the technical details of the Faster Regional Convolution Neural Network (R-CNN) recognition pipeline. Within existing R-CNN literature, the evolution exhibited by R-CNN is most profound in terms of computational efficiency integrating each training stage to reduce test time and improvement in mean average precision (mAP), which can be infused into an artificially intelligent (AI), machine learning (ML), real-time, interactive, recovery capital application (app). This article introduces a Region Proposal Network (RPN) that shares full-image convolutional features with a real-time detection AI-ML infused network in an interactive, continuously self-learning wrist-wearable real-time recovery capital app for enabling cost-free region proposals (e.g., instantaneous body physiological responses, mapped connections to emergency services, sponsor, counselor, peer support, links to local and specific recovery capital assets, etc.). A fully merged RPN and Faster R-CNN deep convolutional unified network in the app can simultaneously train to aggregate and predict object bounds and objectness scores for implementing recovery capital real-time solutions (e.g., baseball card scoring dashboards, token-based incentive programs, etc.) A continuous training scheme alternates between fine-tuning RPN tasks (e.g., logging and updating personal client information, gamification orientation) and fine-tuning the detection (e.g., real-time biometric monitoring client’s behavior for self-awareness of when to connect with an addiction specialist or family member, quick response (QR) code registration for a 12-step program, advanced security encryption, etc.) in the interactive app. The very deep VGG-16 model detection system has a frame rate of 5fps within a graphic processing unit (GPU) while accomplishing sophisticated object detection accuracy on PASCAL Visual Object Classification Challenge (PASCAL VOC) and Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) datasets. This is achieved with only 300 proposals per real-time retrieved data capture point, information bit or image. The app has real-time, infused cartographic and statistical tracking tools to generate Python Codes, which can enable a gamified addiction recovery-oriented digital conscience. Faster R-CNN and RPN can be the foundations of an interactive real-time recovery capital app that can be adaptable to multiple recovery pathways based on participant recovery plans and actions. This paper discusses some of the critical attributes and features to include in the design of a future app to support and close current gaps in needed recovery capital to help those who are dealing with many different forms of addiction recovery.
