Encouraging users in waste sorting using deep neural networks and gamification
Proceedings of the Conference on Information Technology for Social Good, 2021•dl.acm.org
In recent years, the focus on sustainability has grown by everyone, including policymakers,
companies, and consumers. In this perspective, recycling plays an important role because it
allows to reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of, at the same time reducing the need
for raw materials. This paper presents ScanBage, a web application designed and
developed to support users in separating waste collection. It exploits two machine learning
algorithms to automatically classify garbage categories and it employs Gamification …

This paper presents ScanBage, a web application designed and developed to support users in separating waste collection. It exploits two machine learning algorithms to automatically classify garbage categories and it employs Gamification elements with the aim of increasing user involvement.
